Know Your Mushrooms is a 2008 documentary film by Canadian director Ron Mann.[1][2]
The 74 minute Sphinx Productions[3] film examines the counterculture Telluride Mushroom Festival,[4] held annually in Telluride, Colorado and some of the mycologists and funghiphiles that gather there such as Larry Evans[5][6] and Gary Lincoff,[7] author of seven mushroom identification guidebooks,[8] including the Audubon Field Guide to Mushrooms.[9]
The soundtrack includes music by the Flaming Lips and The Sadies.[2]
Know Your Mushrooms is more about hard science and gourmet cuisine than space-outs and the munchies.[10]
