Studying the relationships between fungi, cultures and societies.

Manifesto

For a living ethnomycology.

Fungi are not only biological organisms.

They are also objects of memory, transmission, practices, beliefs, knowledge, stories and futures.

Ethnomycology invites us to look at them as relational beings, situated at the crossroads of life, culture, history, food, traditional medicine, techniques and collective imaginaries.
