Everyone knows fungi from mouldy bread and decomposing trees. Still, few people know that fungi are also the perfect material to be utilized as a sustainable substitute for traditional and often environmentally unfriendly products.

In this workshop, artist Tosca Terán will introduce participants to the fantastic potential of mycelium for collaboration at the intersection of art and science. Participants will learn how to cultivate mycelium affordably as a bio-material and/or food. Sterile and non-sterile techniques will be discussed.

This workshop is free to the public. However, space is limited.
