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!

A Louie Schwartzberg Sneak Preview
Long before language, before thought, life was already speaking — through mycelial networks, DNA, and the cosmos itself. A cinematic journey revealing an unseen code that shapes existence, connects all living systems, and inspires wonder.

Join Louie Schwartzberg, the visionary filmmaker behind Fantastic Fungi, as he takes us on a global mycelial journey—spreading spores of awe through immersive experiences across the globe from the Las Vegas Sphere to the pulsing heart of Tomorrowland, and into clinical trials merging his imagery with psilocybin to help heal addiction. A visual trip into connection, consciousness, and the intelligence of nature.
