About the event
Why Fungi? Why Mushrooms?
The fungi kingdom is vast and diverse; it includes moulds, rusts, yeasts, mushrooms, and more! We’re surrounded by invisible fungi all the time; spores are in the air, in the clouds, and fungal mycelial networks are hidden in trees and in the soil. Fungi are ubiquitous.
Fungi are used for food production and medicine, making materials, and remediating land and water from contaminants. They also play an important role in ecosystems; connecting, decomposing, and ultimately recycling life. There is no doubt that fungi are important and useful.
Given how important Fungi are overall, we ought to have an appreciation and understanding of how fungi operate in and support our ecosystems and human societies/communities.
Discovering more about fungi, and knowing how to protect and partner with fungi (for food, medicine, or soil remediation etc) can help advance ecosystem restoration work, and help us find more ecologically conscious…
