SCHEDULE LAUNCH IS JUNE 21st, 2026

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!
Come have a seat with Telluride Mushroom Festival Offical Artist & Sporelust!

Founder Chris Adams for a discussion about the inspirational magic of fungi, how mushrooms find themselves depicted in the world of human art, and lot's of space for us all to share how we have, or want to, create work inspired by our mushroom buddies. This is an open forum, not a lecture, so come prepared to share thoughts, draw / paint / felt / knit / sculpt if you want and generally just share some space & time with fellow fungally inspired creatives.
