For 32 years, the Telluride Mushroom Festival has offered a forum for intellectual
exploration of the role mushrooms play on Earth. Telluride Mushroom Festival has
become Americas most respected celebration of all things mycological. TMF
offers something for everyone from guided forays in the mountains of Southern
Colorado to presentations on cultivation, remediation, and the cultural impact
of mushrooms, to delightful culinary experiences hosted by local eateries and
nationally renowned chefs.
This years theme of Fungi as Medicine will provide the perfect context in
which to understand all the amazing aspects of mycology- food, medicine,
mycoremediation, and production. This theme will allow us to strengthen the
cross-disciplinary approach for which Telluride Mushroom Festival is known,
enabling people to better understand the interactions of fungi in our world said
festival Director Scott Koch. This festival will raise awareness about the role of
mushrooms in healing the environment and in treating conditions of the human
body and mind,
Telluride Mushroom Festivals 2013 keynote speaker is Gary Lincoff, an author,
botanist, and mycologist whos innovative ideas have made him a mycology
icon. Other popular speakers will include Tradd Cotter author, cultivator,
and mycoremediation instructor; Robert Rogers expert on Fungal Medicine
in Indigenous Cultures and author of Fungal Pharmacy; Christopher Hobbs
herbalist, author, and fungal medicine specialist.

PRESENTATIONS
PETER MCCOYRadical Mycology: Symbiotic cultures from the leading edge
In this presentation/discussion we will take a philosophical approach to theredenition o human/ungal relationships in these changing times. Peter McCoy,co-ounder o the Radical Mycology project, will share his perspective on thelessons exhibited by the ungal kingdom and their mycelial networks in relationto strengthening human societies and creating a more harmonious world. Whatcan we learn rom the ungi about longevity and resilience in the ace o severeglobal challenges? How can we live our lives more in balance with nature and ingreater symbiosis with each other? Tese questions and more can be answered by
the ungi, i one takes the time to ask and observe. Come to learn, then stay tojoin the discussion and add to this growing dialogue.
JORDAN WEISSMedicinal Mushrooms 101
Many eshy ungi have powerul medicinal constituents. Oysters, shiitakes,
hericium, parasols, white button and the king stropharia to name a ew that canbe grown at home and collected in the wild. Tese and a handul o medicinalconks occur t/o North America: we will learn about them and which species otrees they grow on, how to grow them at home-using locally sourced materials,how to make the most potent medicines, mushroom-based oods and panaceasavailable.
Please be amiliar with these books : Fungal Pharmacy-Robert Rogers, Mycelium Running-Paul
Stamets, One Straw Revolution-Masanobu Fukuoka
Grow Mushrooms Anywhere
Mushrooms can grow in dry places and once we pay attention to a mushroomsideal habitat, i.e. microclimates then through practical biomimicry, i.e.mycologically-based permaculture methods, we can create the set & setting wheremushrooms can grow. We will learn how hugelkulture, windrows, straw balesand polycultures/guilds can be created in dry areas that result in soil, medicinal
ood, herbs & mushrooms.By using the resources that are closest to us, in thecommunities where we live-over 60% o the time-we can compost with medicinaland gourmet mushrooms, plants, insects, worms tons o organic matter thatwould end up in a landll-benetting ew people.

A Note from the DirectorAs I sit here by glass windows looking over the San Juan Mountains, clouds are building monsoonalmomentum. My mouth is watering thinking about the delicious meals these clouds will bring to thetable. This year has been incredible for mushrooms in the San Juans. My friends and I had a bannerseason hunting for the elusive Colorado morels, followed by the arrival of early season oysters andenokis. We are now heading into the summer mushroom seaso n, with images of porcinis, chanterellesand other fungi dancing through our imaginative minds. With drying racks set-up, agar plates ready
for cloning, and a host of incredible speakers making their way toward the mountains of SouthwestColorado, it finally feels like time to get extremely excited for the Telluride Mushroom Festival.
As you know, fungi heal us in many ways. When I go into the forest to look for mushrooms, the freshair and connection to nature is rejuvenating at a cellular level. Later, when friends gather to sharein the abundance of our wild harvested mushrooms, the community we share is strengthened aroundour local and seasonal foods. We will remember this experience for years to come. These are a fewof the less mentioned ways that fungi can help us heal. Mushroom medicines are now playing a largerrole than ever before in treating conditions of the human mind and conditions of the human body.Fungi is now playing a key role in our global transition towards a healthier planet by serving as themindful way to heal environmental issues caused by humans.
While it is exciting and important to look at the ways mushrooms can heal the planet and its peopleon the macro scale, it is important to step back and look through the micro lens once and a while.Healing ourselves first lends an incredible advantage to our quest to heal problems in our communityand our environment. Every day I reflect on how amazing it is that mushrooms can be the catalyst forchange on all of these levels. This year we are hoping to cover all the healing elements of mushroomswith equal gravity from their impact on our bodies as food and medicine, to the role they haveplayed in communities through history, to their potential to heal the planet we live on.
This yea r we have had some huge successes wor th highlighting:
In December, we put hundreds of hours into preserving one of Tellurides most valued culturalevents from being overrun by a 9000 person music festival. We would like to extend heartfeltthanks to everybody who helped us during this time we couldnt have done it without you!
Our partnership with Smugglers Brewing Company to produce three immune-enhancingmyco~infused specialty brews.
The Town of Telluride has approved our plan for a five year study using fungi in remediating mine
tailings on the valley f loor and other impacts related to festivals and recreationists. This is goingto be an exciting el ement of our first ever Mycoremediation Certification Course. TheMycoremediation Certification Course is already exceeding our expectations. We are beyondexcited to be giving back to our community and local landscape while simultaneously putting ourmycoremediation skills to the ultimate test!
Our annual chefs cook-off has grown so much in popularity that we have expanded it into a streetparty with live music and myco-infused beer. Make sure you do not miss this fi rst-annual party!
As you can see, this is a year for many exciting firsts for the Telluride Mushroom Festival. I am sograteful to all of you for coming to Telluride to be a part of this special event. This community is
so dear to me and I feel very lucky to be a part of it. If you dont know me, please find me duringthe festival, I would love to meet you and thank you in person for your attendance at the TellurideMushroom Festival.

The Importance of Healing Ourselves
Here at the Telluride Mushroom Festival, we believe it is important
to heal ourselves before we can begin to heal our communities
and our environment. For that reason, the festival is offering classes
on yoga, dance, art, meditation, and healthy food, all of which are
integral to good health. This year, some of Tellurides dedicatedyoga instructors will teach yoga in the mornings and the afternoons.
We are also offering workshops and meditations with Dr. Jonathan
Barfield on healing by bringing mindfulness and awareness into our
lives. Workshops with Mike Logghe and Boa Cowee will delve
deeper into mind medicines and some of the ways Ayahuasca
is used to treat human conditions. MycoTelluMondo and otherpresentations will discuss the relationship of fungi, food and
medicine to our health. To our health!

The Telluride Mushroom Festival began as an off-shoot of a largely academicconference in Aspen in the late 70s sponsored by Beth Israel Hospital,emphasizing workshops on mushroom identication and lectures on diagnosisand treatment of mushroom poisoning.
Early on, however, collateral interests in consuming edible, medicinal, and
psychoactive mushrooms and in the uses by native peoples of plants andmushrooms for spiritual journeying, divided the conference into two groups:one Apollonian, the other Dionysian. The former soon dissolved for lack ofspirit; the latterled by Dr. Emanuel Salzman who was one of the foundersof the Aspen Mushroom Conference and who later formed Fungophile, Inc. eventually migrated to Telluride in 1981.
Manny and Joanne Salzman, Gary Lincoff, Andrew Weil, Paul Stamets,the Gillmans and the Adams Family teamed up in Telluride withherbalist John Sir Jesse and amateur pot-hunter Art Goodtimes, who
took over local operations for the Denver-based Fungophile group.What started out as an educational conference -- Wild MushroomsTelluride soon became a festival in the vernacular of the towns summerresort economy. The paradigm shifted from a concentration on poisoningsto the diverse range of edibility, from an emphasis on treatment of disease tomedicinal healing -- both physical and spiritual, and from a sober appraisal ofrisk and loss to an ecstatic song of praise.
The participants no longer came from a small minority of medical professionals,but now included amateur mushroom hunters, commercial cultivators,
cooks and chefs, psychedelic artists, professional psychiatrists, computerprogrammers, New Age seekers of alternative elixirs, real estate investors, rugmerchants, unreconstructed 1960s hippies, people from the Green Berets aswell as Greenpeace, and all their varied and various children and allies.
The event has expanded into two local theaters the Palm and the Nuggetas well as the award-winning Wilkinson Library and features lectures,movies, hands-on workshops, forays, culinary events, panel discussions, freeidentication tables, local chef cook-offs, vending areas and a Saturdayparade down Tellurides main street with hundreds of participants in mushroom
costumes, oats and music and ending in an outdoor drum circle dance inElks Park.
Gary Lincoff has remained as our lead mycologist/philosopher, Dr. AndrewWeil was a regular faculty member for 25 years and Paul Stamets continues asan occasional speaker and constant inspiration for the event.
Over the last 30 years the Telluride Mushroom Festival has hosted as guestspeakers Nobel Prize laureates, anthropologists, medical doctors, professors,psychonauts, writers, lecturers, chemists, and many others, famous in their
elds, including Dr. Sasha Shulgin, Dr. Ralph Abraham, Laura Huxley, TerenceMcKenna, Joan Halifax, Dr. Rolf Singer, Dr. Wade Davis, Dr. Lynn Margulis, Dr.Thomas Szasz, Dolores LaChapelle, Dr. Kary Mullis, K. Trout, Dr. Manuel Torres,Kat Harrison and Dr. Ralph Metzner.
Media coverage has included the New York Times, the Denver Post, Westword, Gourmet
magazine, Fungi magazine, High Times and various regional and local publications.
