Telluride is located in the Southwest corner of Colorado in a picturesque San Juan Mountain box canyon. The 35th Telluride Mushroom Festival--August 13 through August 15, 2015--with Pre-Conference Workshops on August 12th, celebrates all things fungi (all things mycology). Fungi, the under-appreciated Kingdom of the world, serve many purposes--from breaking down plant cellulose in nature to creating nutrients for plants, to serving as food and medicine for people, to acting as bio-remediators to filter and break down toxic land like oil spills and agricultural run off. This four day event covers it all! The Festival has hosted Nobel Prize laureates, anthropologists, medical doctors, professors, psychonauts, writers, chemists, thought-leaders, religious leaders, and others famous in their respective fields.
