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!

Join us for a gathering of connection and community among plants and people guided by the heart-opening medicine of Cacao. Cacao has been revered for centuries for its ability to deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us. In this gathering, we'll come together to honor the ancient tradition of cacao ceremonies, learn about the nahual of the day and explore the transformative power of this beloved plant. Through a guided meditation, Caro will lead us into connecting to the spirit of Cacao, facilitating deeper inner connection and spiritual insight. We will dive into a plant meditation with cacao and start building a relationship, or deepen our existing connection to this ally. Join us as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and insight with this special plant.

This event is first come, first served and limited. Please show up early to ensure a spot.
