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!

Wild Food Walk and Magical Tea Party

Join Gabrielle (Chaotic Forager) and Betsy (Miss Wondersmith) for an edible and medicinal wild plant walk, followed by a magical tea party complete with delicious foraged treats. In the spirit of our dear TMF friend and plant champion Katrina, this walk will be full of joy, plant love, and encouragement, providing a rare opportunity at TMF to learn about the botanical world! This walk will be fully wheelchair accessible and taken at a leisurely pace, with plenty of time for questions, plant conversation, and, of course, lots of nibbling.

This special TMF experience is limited to 15 participants.

Meet at Elks Park at 9:45am near the Foray Tent
