Yet despite their burgeoning popularity, science has barely scratched the surface of mapping and understanding the hidden world of fungi.The more we learn, the more these ecosystem architects warp our minds of what we think is possible.

Poem | Sometimes a Wild God

Following the episodes on rewilding, I wanted to drive the message of wildness home with this spellbinding poem by Tom Hirons. It gives me chills every time I listen to it, remembering all the animals, all the chthonic forces, that we refuse to let in, the wild madness we long and thirst for, the shuddering pact we’ve made with this world before we were born.Read the poem on: https://www.lifeworld.earth/episodes/poemwildgodPhoto credit: Francesco Sambo Hosted on Acast.
