Ten years ago, Mushroom FM made the biggest and best decision in its history.
We stopped trying to be all things to all people. We decided that when you tuned to Mushroom FM, you should have a pretty good idea what sort of music you were going to hear and, just as importantly, what sort of radio station you were going to hear.
And so began the format that has defined us ever since: music from the 1950s through the 1980s.
Four decades of magic Mushroom memories.

Hello fellow-folkies! Sara Hillis here to let you know that I've got another rerun for you this week on Come by the Hills. The combination of last-minute Sunday parental dinner plans and a weather-related headache have conspired to deprive us of a live episode this time. However, I hope you'll enjoy this show from august 10, 2025.!
Catch Come by the Hills on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. Enjoy, and as always, keep your dragons safe!
