ABOUT THE FUNGI LECTURE @ 19:00(7pm):

Fungi Futures: Mutually Beneficial Collaborations with Fungi and MycoCircularity
Duration 60 Minutes
50 minute talk with 10 minutes reserved for questions
Presentation has lots of visual examples of mycelium based products and businesses

DEEP DIVE ON OUR LECTURE TOPIC:

Find out more about how we can save the planet with mushrooms. From mycelium-based building products to whole new sources of food and alternative proteins, mushrooms are making it clear that when we collaborate with them, we have a chance for a brighter future. Join us to learn about the properties of fungi as proteins, materials, medicines, food sources, and most importantly as an agent of Myco-bioremediation in the environment.

OUR PRESENTER:

Alicia Dudek is the founding fungi fanatic at MycoReality, a mycelium inspired conversations firm. From learning how to grow oyster mushrooms in your own backyard, to envisioning a future where every object we produce has fungi in its lifecycle, she is keen on transforming our way of life into a true MYCOREALITY.

Alicia’s passion for mushrooms is a part of her heritage and upbringing, and throughout her life she has collected knowledge from a great number of teachers. She is here to share her story and synthesis of how we as humanity can collaborate more closely with fungi for our mutual benefit.
