The Eagle Mushroom & Wild Food Festival is a premier, three-day immersive event held in Eagle, Colorado, celebrating the intersection of mycological science, foraging culture, and gourmet culinary arts. Started in 2008, the festival brings together renowned national experts, foragers, and chefs to explore Colorado’s diverse fungal kingdom. Attendees can participate in expert-led forays in the Rocky Mountains, educational presentations, and cooking classes, culminating in a forest-to-table culinary dinner. Featuring the Funga Film Fest, live music, and interactive identification workshops, this festival offers both a deep dive for experts and a fun introduction for mushroom-curious individuals.

Key Aspects:
  • Foraging Expeditions: Guided hunts for wild mushrooms and indigenous foods.
  • Culinary Experiences: High-end, multi-course dining with local mushrooms and wine pairings.
  • Education: Workshops on cultivation, identification, and sustainable stewardship.

John Michelotti of Catskill Fungi will open the festival with a keynote presentation and guide a mushroom foray on Saturday.
