As part of the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival, hundreds of participants create elaborate mushroom costumes and march through town in one of the festival’s most beloved traditions. Equal parts parade, performance, and celebration, the event brings together mycologists, artists, foragers, and mushroom enthusiasts in a joyful tribute to the world of fungi.
What began as a gathering for mushroom lovers has evolved into one of the world’s most distinctive festivals, where science, art, ecology, and costume design come together.
