Put on my <a href="https://themushroom.pub/issues" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Mushroom</a>, a new print publication on all things fungi, and curatorial project <a href="https://www.materialconnections.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Material Connections</a>, the show focuses on the &#x27;matter&#x27; of mushrooms with design and storytelling in mind. After many years of being overlooked or treated with scepticism, fungi are increasingly being touted as miracle organisms - fixing everything from plastic pollution to immune deficiency. But before we get ahead of ourselves, they deserve to be met simply as what they are. Complex and ancient organisms found inside seeds and cells; that can stretch across states and forests. Smelly, tasty, pigmented, poisonous, medicinal, psychoactive, fleshy, hard, dusty, gloopy... mushrooms and fungi are worth getting to know.MYCOTA investigates the Fungal Kingdom using research, literature, ritual, experimentation, sensory entanglement, craft, and practical biology. The exhibition brings collaborators working across contemporary design and craft practices into conversation with a research archive and with each other to explore the embodied material potentiality of fungi. From food to fabric, the exhibition will provide an immersive environment for visitors to engage with mushrooms in their various physical forms - mycelium, fruiting body, biochemical compounds, and spores.Part of London Design Festival 2021 and supported by Arts Council England and the National Lottery Fund, Mycology Press, and MycoNutri.
