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!

Festival attendees don’t take the parade lightly, and many spend months planning their elaborate costumes.
When the parade ends at the Town Park with the Drum Circle we will also pause to announce our costume award winners onsite.

We've heard rumors this year there will be some mighty wild costume creations and we look forward to seeing your and selecting winners for various costume categories.
