Manifesto
For a living ethnomycology.
Fungi are not only biological organisms.
They are also presences 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, societies, history, food, traditional medicine, techniques, environments and imaginaries.
