Join us for the 46th annual Telluride Mushroom Festival as our founder Jae will be leading two forays!

The last foray of the week will be the Explore More Foray! During the Explore More Foray, participants will be invited to slow down and reconnect with the land through observation and exploration. You will learn how to identify, document, and photograph fungi in their natural environments while developing a deeper awareness of ecological context, morphology, and responsible specimen practices.

Where to Meet
Meet‑Up Location is a dirt lot off W HWY 145 Spur, just outside the town of Telluride, right past Butcher Creek Drive on the south side of the highway.

Arrive at the Lot at 11:15 AM. Early arrival is recommended to meet your foray leader and your fellow foragers. TMF does not provide transportation, so carpooling is encouraged to help groups stay together.

Be Prepared
Please come ready for changing mountain weather with:

• Good footwear

• Water and snacks

• Layers or rain gear

• A basket or paper bag for collecting mushrooms

• Cell phone or camera
