Interested in learning more about the fungi around you here in Alaska? This limited-space workshop, led by expert mushroom hunter Professor Philippe Amstislavski will involve learning about local mushrooms, foraging practice, and a grill out with the fruits of your labor!
Booking includes bunk in a Manitoba Yurt, Fungi Fry on Saturday night and Sunday morning coffee. The Fungi Festival will be led by Dr. Philippe Amstislavski of UAA, who studied the biology of mushrooms and fungi at Yale School of Forestry. Explore, identify and gather local mushrooms, lichens, and fungi in the Kenai Mountains.
Dinner on Saturday night is pot-luck style, so please bring a dish to compliment the Fungi Fry and breakfast for Sunday morning.
Tickets are $35. Youth should be accompanied by a guardian or parent.

Join us for Woodstock on Sunday, September 25th to get Manitoba ready for winter! We will get the wood ready for the main cabin and the Outpost Yurt, as well as making sure everything is cleaned up and organized for (hopefully) a fantastic winter!
We will have food, beer, good times, and hopefully good weather, but it is always good to be prepared for rain this time of year, so make sure to bring your rain jackets. Also, based on last year, we might even have a little snow on the ground, so be ready for anything!
Please RSVP by emailing us at [email protected]!
Past Events
Join us for Woodstock on Sunday, June 5th to bring Manitoba out of its winter mode and get it ready for summer operations! We have lots of projects to work on: cleaning and organizing, stocking wood (8 cords this time, not so much as last spring!), finishing the new snowmachine shed, and hauling construction materials for the new Yurt!
Please RSVP by emailing us at [email protected]. This helps us gauge how much food and beer to have on hand! This year, Midnight Sun Brewing Co., Zip Kombucha, and Indian Valley Meats have generously donated to help keep everyone fed and hydrated. Thank you to all of our supporters!
We are also looking for someone with a 4-wheeler or side-by-side to help out, so please contact us if you are willing to bring it down!
Join us for music at Anchorage Brewing Company’s outdoor deck area! Help us fundraise to build a new yurt and enjoy tunes from local band Wiley Post. Spread the word, bring all your friends, and come ready to have a good time. Anchorage Brewing Company will have beer available for purchase throughout the evening.
We will also have some Alaska Huts merch for sale, and the authors of the updated guidebook Alaska Adventure 55 Ways, John & Rebecca Wolfe, will be there to help promote the new book!
Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $15.
