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!

Monday June 9, 2025 10:00am - 11:30am MDT

Miramonte Building (second floor meeting room) @ 333 W. Colorado Avenue, 2nd and 3rd Floors, Telluride, CO

The size of the group is limited to 25-30 gourd-holders and a facilitator. *Limited Capacity, signup required. Email Art Goodtimes Shroompa@gmail.com for participation

Modeled after the peer-to-peer sharing of graduate seminars, the MycoGourds concept was inspired by the work of Colorado deep ecologist Dolores LaChapelle and Brazilian socialist educator Paulo Freire. Dolores was a strong advocate of sharing circles for group decision-making and information-sharing -- as used in many traditions, both ancient and new (such as the Rainbow Family Gathering’s talking stick circles).

This sharing circle will be led by veteran facilitator of Indigenous ancestry Joseph Candia who specializes in contemplative dialogue. The theme for this peer-to-peer discussion will be self-healing with mushrooms.
