Same!👍 it's how on my bucket list for the air stream ( when I'm retired) to travel the continental US first all the important (to me) places I've learned of AND BEYOND!! I want to travel up they Canada and even down to South America, that's my dream bucket list retirement plan!😜
@@kes9612 Camping in an RV is a nightmare adjacent to the village. The community there is a politically charged and they hate campers/rv and actively work to keep roamers out of the community seemingly to create more demand for vrbo because the rentals there are insanely expensive for what they are as far as quality and value. There could be so many other more accessible places in CO they could host this which would comply to those who either don't have the means, logistics, or desire for that hustle and bustle of the village. I would consider attending if it were anywhere other than there.
This will be my 7th year! It's the best mushroom festival ever, with the most spectacular scenery! The combination of academics and hippies is delightful. Can't recommend it enough.
I graduated high school from Telluride and did the majority of my growing up in the area. I’ve been hunting morels since I was six or seven years old. It started out as a bunch of hippies in vans camping out and Trippin and turned into more of a culinary experience. It’s Amazing to see what it has become!
I lived in Tellurid back in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s, and went to the Mushroom Feltival. Dr. Weil was incredible!. I hike alot and always take pictures of fungi. I never eat them unless I am with an expert.
Im way to broke to travel but ive learnt a lot of stuff recently and so im now facinated by mushrooms and the magic kind have helped my mental health and helped me come to terms with trauma and stuff
I grew up in my young adult years there in Telluride, some of my fondest memories of life in my 20s are when I lived there. Winters are beautiful and the people are real.
I have some major medical problems and severe depressive disorder comes with it. I love going to this area of Colorado and had no idea they have a mushroom festival. I need to go educate myself. I have been hunting mushrooms since I was a child in Kentucky. Morels. I think I need these more. 😀
I'm from eastern Kentucky and let me tell something few people know from Kentucky, it's covered in magic Mushrooms most of the year. Different seasons have different Mushrooms, my favorite are the spring Ovoids that can be found along almost any wooded flooding stream.
I can't speak for everyone magic shrooms rejuvenated me, No doubt about that. It lifted an existential angst that I have been carrying for years. It never came back.
When the psylicibyn start's blubbering in my venes ei feel....the start. Mushrooms are the biggest event of my live. The bad and the good. Heaven and hell. Soo good to be alive
All the metropolitan urban sophisticate tech yuppies can pretty much thank hippies for their: Yoga Organic food Psychedelics Good medicinal weed The list goes on.
Don't you worry the certain specified "elites" have their plugs all in on it, preventing any scientific breakthroughs from hitting the mainstream from plant medicine, even though all their prescription medications CONTAIN nature\plants or the synthesis of them. There is no money in a CURE when you can charge\make billions and TREAT the condition afflicting the populus to no end. I wouldnt even make this comment but having a certain implied name within this docu, makes my spidey senses alert. I mean God forbid someone so knowledgeable "share" his knowledge with an elite family that controls the world. It could literally MAKE or BREAK science..hmm I mean the pharmaceutical industry. Jmo don't come for me please🙏
Hell yeah, I love Alan. He's a genius when it comes to mushrooms. He's done a couple collabs with Joey from Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't, highly recommend those videos cause it's really cool to see them work together. The craziest thing about Alan is he's entirely self taught, same goes for Joey too.
@@NorthSpore I haven't but I'll check it out! Look into that other channel too if you're interested, Joey is great and super knowledgeable about botany. Kind of a rogue botanist lol
interesting. so now the algorithm lives in my head unawares for i had just come in from a multi hour walk on my property to see what mushrooms were up as we have had that perfect set of conditions. and this vid was the first suggestion. major "bloom" here. so fascinating. perhaps one day i will learn the names, but for me they are just a beautiful thing that goes along with all the other beautiful things that are showing around here this time of year under these conditions. good vid, thanks for the info!
@@NorthSpore sound advice, but i just make up names that i usually forget while i amazed at all the different ones that show up when the conditions are just right. i do know the morrells, but the rest of just mushrooms to me. in one place on my property i even have the little tiny ones that glow in the dark. very rare i am told.
Thank you for the inspiring video. I have so many strange and mysterious mushrooms and fungi appearing in my Eryrie (Snowdonia UK) mountain garden and i'm now about to start documenting them because something about you guys' enthusiasm has spurred me on! Subbed
yes, it's pricey. But that's the general admission price and you get access to a range of intimate educational sessions with real leaders in the field of mycology. If you think about the price of an average college course it may be worth it for people really invested in mushrooms and those who want to grow their network. They have cheaper ways of engaging with the event than just the general admission too, but yea, the price of admission limits who will/can attend.
Hey man. Loved the video, love the knowledge and the message. I personally believe I would greatly benefit from a psilocybin treatment. You will have to check out our mushroom capital of the world Kennett Square Pennsylvania's Mushroom Festival.
Also, since you eat mushrooms before knowing if it will kill you... I just wanna share, please don't lick Colorado River toads, the Sonoran desert toad ...let alone even touch an Amazonian tree frog! Pretty to touch...but from afar !
I need to find a travel friend. I would love to go to the mushroom festival with someone. I would have to fly out there and would definitely rather go with some friends then by myself. damn it why can’t i find some friends who want to travel.
My parents were taught from elders in S. Co. decades ago. I continue with my daughter and g kids in the Wet Mts. annually! But what I wouldn't do with some Morel, yum, but only found them back in Ia...🎉❤
Mushrooms have always given me the same unpleasant trip.. I sit there confused with one thought that won't go way, 'I am supposed to be doing something'.. Rocking back and forth thinking 'what am I supposed to be doing' for several hours,on every trip..
I can relate to that feeling, I often get it during the come up on any psychedelic. Turns out the answer usually is "go to the toilet, grab a bottle of water (both intended to increase the time I have before having to get back up), lie down, close eyes, submit".
We used to go through the cow paddocks after rain in Australia and grt some magic shrooms we knew nothing but the one youd pick n snap the stem and itd turn bright blue be tripping for days
They are starting to price normies out. Cost to get in and everything worth learning cost on top of that. Housing in Telluride is crazy. Move the movement.
do you eat them regularly? seems like they are one of the species that walks that boarder of edibility and falls on either edible or 'slightly poisonous' depending on who you're talking to
