Mushroom People Vol.2

Regular price $40.00
Remember when we told you Mushroom People was a special, single-issue magazine? Well, that's what we thought! Turns out it was so dang popular, the folks at Broccoli have blessed us with a second volume! Mushroom People 2 (!) is another glowing work of art.
Much like the first issue, artists, writers, and fungi enthusiasts from around the world come together in these pages to explore mushroom fact and fantasy, collecting specimens of all kinds: the strange and familiar, beautiful and ugly, toxic and healing, ephemeral and enduring.

Mushroom People Vol.2 explores creation, destruction, attraction, and revulsion: Lauren Oster examines the outer limits of fungi's off-planet potential, Maria Pinto writes about the city as a holobiont, Riitta Ikonen and Annie Collinge find human-sized mushrooms in the Finnish wilds. Bethany van Risjwijk explores the folkloric connection between thunder, lightning, and mushrooms, and Anna Kodé serves mushrooms for dessert. Plus: fungal attachment styles, mushroom zombies, the mycobiome, cozy mushroom houses; and a bonus section on slime molds that oozes with wonder and possibility.
