Celebrating All Things Fungi

Since 1981, the Telluride Mushroom Festival has brought together leading mycologists, artists, foragers and enthusiasts to explore all things fungi. We focus on science, culture, and community-covering topics like psychedelic research, cultivation, decriminalization, and identification. More than just a festival, it is an annual reunion for fungi folks to gather and celebrate fungi and their impact on our world.

We hope to see you in the San Juans this August!
