We travel across the planet, and into the cosmos, exploring the transformative power of fungal mycelium. From turning invasive blackthorn into food and shelter in Namibia, to transforming demolition waste into new buildings in Cleveland, to imagining inflatable space colonies, architect and biomaterials pioneer Christopher Maurer of Red House Architecture guides us through a living future.
Into the Mycocosmic we shape strands of thoughts and feelings on fear, the underworld, hope and transformation through the discipline of poetry into fungally-inspired narratives and find ourselves opening up to let in more fungal intelligence with poet, author and college professor Lesley Wheeler as our guide!Â
We don our mosquito nets and full coverage gear to brave the rugged "crown lands" of Ottawa on a great fungi quest in search of fungal diversity and choice edibles with our identification guide, culinary mushroom expert, and founder of Think Fungi - Robert Coutreau!
