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!

Microscopy is an essential tool for the identification of microbes including fungi. Over the past few decades, the prices of very good quality compound microscopes can come way down, making it affordable for more and more “citizen scientists” to make use of this tool...but it does require some expertise. Dr. Amy Honan and her crew of experts (with decades of expertise) will instruct this completely hands-on course in basic microscopy. Bring your own mushrooms to examine...and even if you don’t, there will be fresh specimens on hand for everyone to use.
