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!

Ah Haa School - SkyDeck Rooftop @ 155 W Pacific Ave, Telluride, CO 81435

There are a million and one ways to preserve the mushrooms you forage! In this workshop we will go over various techniques including canning, fermentation, honey preservation, multiple methods of drying, freezing, and turning mushrooms into other products (like jerky, salts, and seasonings). It will also cover how to cook your mushrooms to maximize flavor and texture and avoid the mistakes that lead some people to believe that they don’t like mushrooms.
