China Mushroom Museum sits inside the Fengxian Modern Agriculture Park in Shanghai, at 7299 Jinhai Highway. If you’re coming from downtown Shanghai, take Metro Line 8 to Jianggan Road Station, then hop on bus Fengxian 3 to the agriculture park stop. Driving? Punch “7299 Jinhai Highway” into your GPS—there’s free parking right by the museum. Pro tip: The area feels like a mini escape from the city, surrounded by green fields and fresh air.

Outdoor Magic: The Mushroom Garden

The outdoor “Bai Gu Yuan” (Hundred Mushroom Garden) at China Mushroom Museum is a wild card. Think living mushrooms sprouting everywhere—shiitake, oyster, and even weird ones you’ve never seen. Seasonal changes mean different mushrooms pop up, so every visit feels fresh. You can stroll through wooden paths, spot funky mushroom sculptures, and even try harvesting your own (they’ll teach you how!). It’s like a nature walk meets science experiment.
