Shrooms 'Art-N-Seek' Game Coming To The East Bay. Here's Where To Search

BERKELEY, CA — A fan of foraging mushrooms? What about mushroom art?

Game of Shrooms, an "art-n-seek event," is coming to the East Bay on Saturday, June 13 and there are several places to search for a unique piece.

The event was started in 2019 by Bay Area artist Daniel "Attaboy" Seifert and has grown into an annual worldwide movement.

During the event, artists hide their mushroom-themed art around an area while other people seek them out. People are encouraged to keep whatever art they find while out foraging.

There are several cities across the East Bay where artists will be hiding their art, including Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro. But seekers can also travel anywhere in hopes of snagging a hidden piece.

In San Leandro, the Main Library will have art pieces from several artists hidden around the plaza.

In the weeks leading up to the event, the city's Manor Branch Library will host a "Learn about Mushrooms" event on May 26, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. A "Create Mushroom-Themed Art" event will follow on May 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Main Library.
