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!

Back by popular demand! In the VR lounge, folks are invited to put on a VR headset and immerse in meditative soundscapes and visual landscapes. Using the contemplative app Tripp, festival-goers can enter into a variety of visually stunning settings and can choose to listen to guided meditations or music. No experience with VR is necessary to participate. (If there is a slot with projector: Folks who do not wish to put on a headset can experience the meditations on a larger screen)
