Fungal thinking . What can we learn from the collaborative ways plants and fungi communicate and help each other?
Symbiosis; mutually beneficial transactions, sharing vital resources made of complex underground networks of caring and collaborating. I am led by continual curiosity and wonder, being with nature and the landscape, foraging, planting, harvesting, and investigating. Often returning with as many questions, and as many teachings after each encounter whilst trying to find a balanced way of navigating this intricate responsibility working with, and in nature. These below the soil teachings are reflected in the slow pace of the process, the material connection to the land and the location, and my relationship with these actions.
Ongoing exploration and collaboration with landscape, location, plants and mushrooms .
