Welcome to the largest wild mushroom happening in North America, the 44th Annual Telluride Mushroom Festival! A plethora of events ranging from foray and mushroom ID sessions, to hands-on demonstrations, to lectures—all led by regionally-, nationally-, and internationally-known experts, (and we cannot forget the Parade!) there is plenty for everyone each and 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!
In this free crafting session, create your very own wearable fungus with usual and unusual art supplies with the internationally renowned wearable sculpture artist and two-time Telluride Mushroom Festival Costume Competition winner Riitta Ikonen.

Pop in and make a quick-fix fungal suit for the parade, meet your soulmates who also want to play the parts in the life cycle of dung-loving fungi, or bring your half-finished caps and we’ll help you fill them with sporulating spores. Bring along anything from fishing poles to bicycle helmets and turn them into all-immersive cordyceps bodystockings, head covering caps, trailing-mycelium, and full-body wearable microscopes.
After this fantastic fungi festivity, you will be ready to march Telluride Main Street in the Mushroom Parade or even win this year’s gold medal at the Telluride Mushroom festival’s costume competition.

Supplies and comfortable assembly location will be provided by Ah Haa Art School but space s limited.
