The 'Fungery - agency for fungal x human relations' shares mushroom knowledge through sensory and hands‑on learning, brings people together, and provides temporary infrastructure for that purpose. Using fungi’s collaborative traits as a model, it invites participation from current and future mushroom enthusiasts. In doing so it creates a network of diverse actors that, like fungal mycelium, connects different organisms.

How can knowledge about mushrooms be shared? The fungery provides a flexible environment that can be set up anywhere. Using various tools and teaching concepts, the fungery explores how mushrooms can enrich the diversity of our diet and contribute to a more sustainable food culture.
