Telluride Mushroom Conference, August 22-25, 1996 Telluride Mushroom Conference, August 22-25, 1996 The Telluride Mushroom Conference is designed for persons interested in expanding their knowledge of edible, poisonous and psychoactive wild mushrooms. Major consideration will be given to the cultivation of diverse mushroom species, emphasizing practical principles and techniques.
Professor Charles Grob, eminent author and lecturer, will address a plenary session of the Conference on Ayahuasca, Vine of the Soul.
The Conference will be held in Telluride, an historic Colorado mining town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountain Continental Divide. The forests in the Telluride area generally produce a wide variety of wild mushrooms, particularly edible species. Daily forays will be held in the surrounding mountains to collect edible and poisonous species and study their field characteristics.
Conference facilities include appropriate meeting rooms and campsites. More elaborate accommodations are available locally. Meat and non-meat nutritious meals will be served.
