Telluride Mushroom Festival - The Origins of Fungi
One of Colorado's best kept secrets which attracts hundreds of visitors from the U.S. and around the world. Colorado's famed Telluride Mushroom Festival is held in August every year. Not only do they have speakers, cooking, vendors, forays, but they add a parade where folks dress up as fungus. How fun is that.
Located in the Rocky Mountains, this fair is one to experience both for the beauty of the location, but also the show that is Telluride...
