Lessons from the fungal world. Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez on relationships, reciprocity, and collaboration
There are books, and then there are great books that leave a mark on an entire generation. Let’s Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts written by curator and writer Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez, belongs to the latter category. Now widely regarded as a seminal work on all things mycelia, this is not your conventional mushroom atlas. Instead, it offers a way of seeing fungi as an ingenious form of life, approached not through an optic of utility, but through what they might teach us about relationships, both with the more-than-human world and among ourselves.
