With Giuliana Furci & Sophie Strand.Oh, the fungi! Without them we’d have no plants, no trees, no chocolate, no beer, yogurt, baked bread – all the good things! 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. They digest toxic radiochemical waste. Their mycelium networks with plant roots are the planet’s

Poem | Sometimes a Wild God

2022/08/10

Following the episodes on rewilding, I wanted to drive the message of wildness home with this spellbinding poem by Tom Hirons.
