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!
Prefest workshops are an extra paid ticket purchased - not for general admission passes!

Watercolor Painting with Foraged Mushrooms taught by Caro Arevalo  Wednesday, August 12th 1:00pm-4:00pm Ah Haa Curiosity Shop

Join us for an art workshop where we will sip on cacao and explore watercolor painting, guided by the beauty and wonder of mushrooms. This workshop offers a blend of artistic exploration and mindful connection. Throughout the session, Caro will lead us through the fundamentals of watercolor techniques, infusing moments of mindfulness to deepen our connection with both the art supplies and the natural world. With foraged mushrooms as our muse, we will experiment with different styles and techniques to paint our mushrooms and find what feels good for each of us. With these skills you'll leave equipped with tools and tips to continue your artistic journey long after the workshop concludes. Join us for a gathering of creativity and a connection, celebrating the beauty of the natural world with mushrooms as our muses.
