At Electric Forest’s Higher Love camping area, a camper’s curious discovery turned heads and sparked conversation: a mushroom-themed muffin, complete with a dried mushroom stem and tiny colorful mushroom figurines, was found discarded inside a porta-potty on Sunday. The group’s initial laughter soon gave way to caution as hygiene concerns took priority, and the muffin was safely discarded.
Attendees debated whether this was a one-off weirdness or part of a larger phenomenon, noting other similar items reportedly found near the wishing well. Many expressed hesitance about consuming food that had been in such unsanitary places, underscoring the fine line between festival whimsy and safety.
The incident highlights the unpredictable, quirky moments Electric Forest is known for — but it’s also a reminder to festival-goers to be vigilant about what they ingest and to maintain good sanitation awareness while on-site.
Festival safety reminder: Always weigh fun against the risks when it comes to found consumables. Porta-potties serve a vital role but carry inherent hygiene challenges, so exercise caution to keep your festival experience safe and memorable.
