🤝Meet the MMF 2026 MCs
Jessica Shea, LCSW, is the proud founder and chaos coordinator of the Memphis Mushroom Festival.
She works in the space of trauma recovery by day and is a plant witch by night.
Jessica started this festival because she believes many of life’s big questions can be answered at the intersection of health and nature — and there’s no better way to learn and connect than through a festival.
When she’s not organizing volunteers or wrangling vendors, Jessica can be found laughing too loudly, dancing in the grass, or convincing strangers that growing mushrooms is easier than they think.
Come say hi to Jessica at the festival — she’ll be the one making sure the music is playing, the booths are buzzing,
and the vibes are just right.

Her talk, "From Forest to Cup," will cover everything from ethical harvesting to preparation methods. She'll also highlight the benefits of incorporating medicinal mushrooms into both food and drink, including her own locally sourced shroom chai made with ingredients like lion's mane, morels, oyster, dandelion, and yellow dock.
