We welcome you to Shroomfest!

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.

The Telluride Institute is a non-profit organization that fosters the transition to a sustainable world. Working with communities, businesses, and the public sector to create and advance real solutions that support the health of environments, cultures, and economies and collaborating with leading artists, scientists, and educators to map a progressive future.

In 1976, the new library was dedicated at the site of the former town jail, named to honor the founders who nurtured the library through its inception and expanding vision. In addition to now housing a sizeable selection of books, videos, CDs, MP3 files and more, the The Wilkinson Public Library also hosts events and presentations year-round. Mushroom Mountain is a South Carolina based company that focuses on teaching the masses about gardening with mushrooms, bioremediation, and mycorestoration. Coprinoid.com is an independent collective of mycophiles providing photography, illustration, creative and print services, as well as offering educational courses and workshops in cultivation in partnership with Myriad Mycology of Southern Oregon. Commission on the Arts and Special Events (CASE), a Town of Telluride board, was created to facilitate support for arts and special events, evaluate grant requests, recommend levels of funding to Town Council, administer allocations and encourage an environment conducive to festivals, performing arts, visual arts and special events in Telluride.

We would like to extend a big thank you to all of our partners and sponsors! Shroomfest couldnt happen without you all!

PRESENTATIONS PETER MCCOY

Radical Mycology: Symbiotic cultures from the leading edge
In this presentation/discussion we will take a philosophical approach to the redefinition of human/fungal relationships in these changing times. Peter McCoy, co-founder of the Radical Mycology project, will share his perspective on the lessons exhibited by the fungal kingdom and their mycelial networks in relation to strengthening human societies and creating a more harmonious world. What can we learn from the fungi about longevity and resilience in the face of severe global challenges? How can we live our lives more in balance with nature and in greater symbiosis with each other? These questions and more can be answered by the fungi, if one takes the time to ask and observe. Come to learn, then stay to join the discussion and add to this growing dialogue.

JORDAN WEISS
Medicinal Mushrooms 101
Many fleshy fungi have powerful medicinal constituents. Oysters, shiitakes, hericium, parasols, white button and the king stropharia to name a few that can be grown at home and collected in the wild. These and a handful of medicinal conks occur t/o North America: we will learn about them and which species of trees they grow on, how to grow them at home-using locally sourced materials, how to make the most potent medicines, mushroom-based foods and panaceas available.
Please be familiar 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 mushrooms ideal habitat, i.e. microclimates then through practical biomimicry, i.e. mycologically-based permaculture methods, we can create the set & setting where mushrooms can grow. We will learn how hugelkulture, windrows, straw bales and polycultures/guilds can be created in dry areas that result in soil, medicinal food, herbs & mushrooms.By using the resources that are closest to us, in the communities where we live-over 60% of the time-we can compost with medicinal and gourmet mushrooms, plants, insects, worms tons of organic matter that would end up in a landfill-benefitting few people.

THE PAITITI INSTITUTE

Working with Grandfather & Grandmother: Tales of Sacred Medicine and Permaculture from Peru The Sacred Science: Film Screening
The documentary, The Sacred Science (www.thesacredscience.com) filmed at the Paititi Institute in October 2010. Witness the story of eight brave souls as they leave the developed world behind in search of deeper answers. Living in seclusion for one month in the heart of the Amazon jungle, these men and women take part in the powerful healing practices of Perus indigenous medicine men, working both with centuries-old plant remedies and spiritual ceremonies and disciplines. In their most desperate hour, these patients are forced to confront not only their physical ailments, but their own spiritual and psychological barriers in the process. Five will return with real results, two will return disappointed, and one wouldnt come back at all. There will be time for questions after the screening.

ROBERT ROGERS
Medicinal Mushrooms for the Masses
This presentation will look at some of the less well-known medicinal mushrooms and some of their uses for health and healing. It will explore ethnomycology uses, some human clinical trial results, and how anyone can prepare these foraged fungi for family, and farmaceutical use.

Kamchatka Ale
This workshop will explore the use of Amanita muscaria in fermented ale, and the botanical ingredients and recipe used traditionally for entheogenic excursions. The synergy of the three specific plant parts and degree of ripeness as well as the ratios and optimal preparation methods will be explored and discussed.

Book Signing Saturday at 3 PM the Arroyo 220 E. Colorado Ave.

JONATHAN BARFIELD
Entheogen Experience and the Buddhist Psychology of the Six Realms, Part 1
Through an interactive discussion we will define terms and explore the relationship between Buddhist psychology and entheogen experience. This exploration will examine the possible benefits and pit-falls in the use of entheogens for spiritual development in the context of the 8-fold path and the psychology of the Six Realms.

Entheogen Experience and the Buddhist Psychology of the Six Realms, Part 2
Building off of the previous discussion, this experiential workshop will provide ways to work with the Six Realms and our cycles of suffering in daily life and in entheogenic experience. We will explore 3 styles of transforming afflictive mental states: 1) Developing wisdom, morality, and concentration; 2) Learning specific cognitive antidotes; 3) Direct transformation that involves searching for essences.

JA SCHINDLER
Ja Schindler: Mycoremediation - Explorations on the Hyphal Tip
From sub-arctic mushrooms to saltwater swimming plastic eating fungi, to what new frontiers are the mycelial horizons spreading restorative potentials?

Mycoremediation: Grassroots Project Design

Group planning, site history, legal issues, reading and de-constructing research, building tools, project scaling, and keeping healthy.

Mycorrhizal Remediation
Field applications for culturing and working with Endo- and Ecto- Mycorrhizae on impacted landscapes for contaminant remediation and anti-desertification strategies.

WILLOUGHBY AREVALO
The Sex Life of Mushrooms
Willoughby brings his unique blend of mycological lecture, storytelling, dub poetry, and cassette tape dance party to Telluride for its first performance off the west coast. This is Informance Edutainment in raw form!

Mycopermaculture
In this lecture and discussion based workshop, we will apply the permaculture principles to the cultivation of fungi, for the health of ourselves, our surroundings, our culture, and our fungal allies. We will also include a discussion of experimental and leading edge cultivation strategies.

CHRIS RICCI
The Green Man: A Tribute to Frank Cook
(15 min. short film and 30 min. discussion) Chris Ricci and Plants and Healers International present this tribute to the life and works of Frank Cook, herbalist, teacher, botanical explorer, and healer. A participatory discussion of furthering Franks mission, plant and mushroom medicine exploration, and healer education will follow the film.

Simple Mushroom Log Inoculation

Chris Ricci will present a simple technique for inoculating logs with any bulk spawn. This original method requires less labor and materials than drill and plug methods, but is at least as effective. This is a hands-on workshop.

MAGGIE KLINEDINST
The Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Research Projects
To date, the Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Research team has safely administered psilocybin to over 150 volunteers under carefully controlled conditions. This presentation will review data from the recent and ongoing research in healthy volunteers, individuals diagnosed with cancer, and volunteers interested in quitting cigarette smoking. Ms. Klinedinst will discuss the current and ongoing research, present case studies and explain in further detail how the research studies are conducted, what weve learned, and future implications of this research.

A Note from the Director

As I sit here by glass windows looking over the San Juan Mountains, clouds are building monsoonal momentum. My mouth is watering thinking about the delicious meals these clouds will bring to the table. This year has been incredible for mushrooms in the San Juans. My friends and I had a banner season hunting for the elusive Colorado morels, followed by the arrival of early season oysters and enokis. We are now heading into the summer mushroom season, with images of porcinis, chanterelles and 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 Southwest Colorado, 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 fresh air and connection to nature is rejuvenating at a cellular level. Later, when friends gather to share in the abundance of our wild harvested mushrooms, the community we share is strengthened around our local and seasonal foods. We will remember this experience for years to come. These are a few of the less mentioned ways that fungi can help us heal. Mushroom medicines are now playing a larger role 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 the mindful 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 people on 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 community and our environment. Every day I reflect on how amazing it is that mushrooms can be the catalyst for change on all of these levels. This year we are hoping to cover all the healing elements of mushrooms with equal gravity from their impact on our bodies as food and medicine, to the role they have played in communities through history, to their potential to heal the planet we live on. This year we have had some huge successes worth highlighting:
In December, we put hundreds of hours into preserving one of Tellurides most valued cultural events from being overrun by a 9000 person music festival. We would like to extend heartfelt thanks 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-enhancing myco~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 floor and other impacts related to festivals and recreationists. This is going to be an exciting element of our first ever Mycoremediation Certification Course. The Mycoremediation Certification Course is already exceeding our expectations. We are beyond excited to be giving back to our community and local landscape while simultaneously putting our mycoremediation skills to the ultimate test!

Our annual chefs cook-off has grown so much in popularity that we have expanded it into a street party with live music and myco-infused beer. Make sure you do not miss this first-annual party!

As you can see, this is a year for many exciting firsts for the Telluride Mushroom Festival. I am so grateful 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 during the festival, I would love to meet you and thank you in person for your attendance at the Telluride Mushroom Festival. For the love of mushrooms,

Thank you for attending the 32nd Annual

Telluride Mushroom Festival!

We hope to see you again next year! 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 dedicated yoga 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 other presentations will discuss the relationship of fungi, food and medicine to our health. To our health!

A Short History of the Telluride Mushroom Festival

The Telluride Mushroom Festival began as an off-shoot of a largely academic conference in Aspen in the late 70s sponsored by Beth Israel Hospital, emphasizing workshops on mushroom identification and lectures on diagnosis and 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 and mushrooms for spiritual journeying, divided the conference into two groups: one Apollonian, the other Dionysian. The former soon dissolved for lack of spirit; the latterled by Dr. Emanuel Salzman who was one of the founders of 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 with herbalist 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 Mushrooms Telluride soon became a festival in the vernacular of the towns summer resort economy. The paradigm shifted from a concentration on poisonings to the diverse range of edibility, from an emphasis on treatment of disease to medicinal healing -- both physical and spiritual, and from a sober appraisal of risk 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, computer programmers, New Age seekers of alternative elixirs, real estate investors, rug merchants, unreconstructed 1960s hippies, people from the Green Berets as well as Greenpeace, and all their varied and various children and allies. The event has expanded into two local theaters the Palm and the Nugget as well as the award-winning Wilkinson Library and features lectures, movies, hands-on workshops, forays, culinary events, panel discussions, free identification tables, local chef cook-offs, vending areas and a Saturday parade down Tellurides main street with hundreds of participants in mushroom costumes, floats and music and ending in an outdoor drum circle dance in Elks Park. Gary Lincoff has remained as our lead mycologist/philosopher, Dr. Andrew Weil was a regular faculty member for 25 years and Paul Stamets continues as an occasional speaker and constant inspiration for the event. Over the last 30 years the Telluride Mushroom Festival has hosted as guest speakers Nobel Prize laureates, anthropologists, medical doctors, professors, psychonauts, writers, lecturers, chemists, and many others, famous in their fields, including Dr. Sasha Shulgin, Dr. Ralph Abraham, Laura Huxley, Terence McKenna, 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.
