Welcome to the largest wild mushroom happening in North America, the 46th Annual Telluride Mushroom Festival! This program of the Telluride Institute, a 501c3 non-profit, offers a plethora of events ranging from foray and mushroom ID sessions, to hands-on demonstrations and lectures—all led by regionally, nationally, and internationally-known experts, (and we cannot forget the wide variety of social and cultural events offered, along with the famous Mushroom Parade!) there is plenty for everyone, every day.

On this website, you can filter your search by events, venues, presenters, etc. Each year the Mushroom Festival features many wonderful presentations on “all things fungi.” Presentations on similar topics are grouped together at the same venue so that attendees interested will be able to spend more time learning and interacting, and less time walking between venues. See who else is interested in each event and interact with our extended Mushroom Family.

See you soon!

How to Draw a Mushroom with Chris Adams - Limited Capacity Workshop Sign Up

Thursday August 13, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm MDT

Ah Haa School - Curiosity Shop @ 155 West Pacific Avenue, Telluride, CO, USA

Join artist Chris Adams (the human behind Corvidopolis, The Mushroom Tarot and Sporelust!), to discuss & practice basic techniques for drawing anything––but in this case mushrooms & other inspirational beings from the natural world. Chris will describe his basic processes of drawing from the real world & photographic reference, work with the class on some fun experiments with common media and outline his approach to combining personal creative inspiration with accurate––sometimes scientific––observation.

Suggested Class Materials:
You will receive a “How to Draw a Mushroom” info sheet with some tips & nonsense and some basic tools will be available. Please bring your favorite media and some blank paper so we can make the most out of our forest time, and it doesn’t hurt to show up with technical questions or artistic goals you might want to discuss!
