Crested Butte Mushroom Festival

Plans are underway for this year’s Crested Butte (Colorado) Mushroom Festival, to be held 16-19 August 2007. Over 180 different species of mushrooms were finally counted on the identification tables at the 2006 festival. These included a number of less common mushrooms species such as four species of hypogeous fungi (mushrooms that grow underground), a field of a dozen giant Western puffballs (Calvatia booniana), a few false morels (Gyromitra infula), about 15-species of Hygrophorus, numerous species of Amanitas, and Blue Chanterelles (Polyozellus multiplex). Michael Kuo, author of Morels, will be at the 2007 event! Visit the site for details in a few months when they will add more information about this year’s event.
