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.
Join us for happy hour at the West End Bistro at the Hotel Telluride for a casual business happy hour learning how we can Rewild in our businesses and other myco-events popping up around the country. You'll have an opportunity to engage with business owners, mycological society coordinators and event organizers. We'll have TBC's Myco-Beer and Cider with Tradd Cotter's functional mushroom tinctures.
Featured: Complimentary OM Mushrooms and Real Mushrooms (TMF Sponsors) drinks at the coffee bar. Want to taste the Festival Telluride Brewing Company MycoBeer and NEW THIS YEAR Fenceline Myco-CIDER? $1 for every beer or cider purchased is donated to the Telluride Mushroom Festival, thanks to TMF sponsor and partner Hotel Telluride.
