Virtual Foray Using “augmented reality” technology readily available on personal smartphones, users are invited to find giant virtual mushrooms linked to specially created poems by members of the regional poetry community. In the context of the Telluride Mushroom Festival, a “virtual foray” is a parallel universe populated with digital fungi and poetry. Participants in TMF and the general public are invited to use their smartphones to find 3D virtual mushrooms and specially created poems celebrating specific mushrooms–such as, Amanita muscaria, Chanterelles, Morels, etc.–all around town.
