Transmission

Learning to look at fungi differently.

Ethnomycology is not limited to species identification. It studies the relationships between fungi and societies: food, traditional medicine, fermentation, cultivation and production, narratives, arts, objects, rituals, techniques, popular knowledge and transmission.

The SEMG training activities aim to build bridges between mycology, anthropology, history, ecology, material culture, cuisine, traditional medicines and contemporary practices related to the fungal world.

Formats

Formats adapted to different audiences.

Workshops

Thematic workshops around fungi, their uses, cultivation, history, forms and meanings within societies.

Encounters & conferences

Encounters with researchers, practitioners, producers, artists, authors and people who carry knowledge related to the fungal world.

Online pathways

Digital educational content may accompany the training activities, with resources, modules, videos, texts and working materials.

Academy

International Ethnomycological Academy

The SEMG is preparing the development of an academy dedicated to the teaching of ethnomycology, with the ambition of eventually offering a structured learning pathway accessible remotely and complemented by in-person training moments.

This approach aims to provide a demanding framework for discovering and deepening ethnomycology, bringing together knowledge from research, fieldwork, culture, production, history and living practices.
