More-Than-Human Encounters: The fungi paradigm

In this moment I’m grateful for finding the work of people who are cultivating beautiful relationships with the fungi and supporting us all to step into that. I hope to connect with these kind of folk in person and for now am grateful that technology provides some opportunity.

I really enjoyed this video which explores a lot of very interesting areas of the human-fungi relationship. Merlin Sheldrake gives a great definition of fungi and shares some of his perspective on individualism, shaped by learning with fungi. There’s a piece about mycelium materials which raises some great questions about relationship with fungi and then flows into psychedelic fungi with some focus on indigenous issues which I appreciated. Lots more in there than I’ve summarised. If you watch it and have any reflections or inspirations you’d like to share with me, send me a message.

Peace and Mush Love,

Chris Forest
