The Telluride Mushroom Festival looks at the medicinal, culinary, and ecological facets of fungi. But it also focuses on the artistic elements of the mushroom world, including through an annual mushroom poetry performance.

KOTO spoke with several local poets taking part in this year’s Mycolicious, Mycoluscious, Mycological Poetry Show on Friday, August 19th.
