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!

Thursday June 12, 2025 1:30pm - 2:00pm MDT

Palm Theatre @ 721 W Colorado Ave, Telluride, CO 81435

The closing ceremony is a time to reflect on the festival and say goodbye to one another. Come as we close the festival off in ceremony and tradition.

Thank you to everyone that has made this year happen, for those who have given to the festival and have transformed an idea into a movement, we hope to keep bringing this Festival to you in all the new and changing iterations that we learn about the expansive world of Fungi.
