This year has been one of Telluride's most bountiful mushrooms harvests. Avid shroom hunters have been sliding off into the woods to their secret stashes, returning with backpacks full of fungal delights. Culinary competition has sky rocketed, as friends gather to enjoy the tasty delights of their triumphant find's together. This weekend, Telluride celebrates mushrooms of all shapes, sizes, textures and tastes.

Fans were blown away by the beauty of our magical box canyon and organizers, law enforcement and the medical center were all very impressed with how smooth things went!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week, things are a little more mellow.
