[Postponed to 29 September] LET'S BECOME FUNGAL! Book discussion

What are fungi (jamur jamur)? what do they do? and what does it mean "to become fungal"?

Let's have a BOOK DISCUSSION together of "Let's become fungal!" by Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodriguez in honor of International Microorganism Day.

The book offer examples of what are fungi and what can people do with and learn form them. What's special about the book is that is provides examples, for communities of practice, to come together and experiment or think with fungal mycelium.

We will explore fun examples and chat together! The educational aspect (learning about fungi!) will have a strong component. But then we can chat about how fungi could help us as a community, be it in artistic practices, DIY, community resilience and creativity, or small business entrepreneurship.

International Microorganism Day is a celebration of microbes (bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae, and much more) in all their beauty:

I guess you haven't given much thoughts about microbes and fungi yet. Or perhaps you have and want to have an in-depth chat about this with like-minded nerds. Join us!

No prior knowledge is required. You just need to read a few chapters (shared with everyone beforehand) of the book to participate in the discussion. See also the uploaded pic to see a list of chapters.

But if you don't manage to read them and just want to join, no problem! The organiser (PhD in fungal ecology, MSc in microbiology) will give a fun and accessible introduction to the topic.

This event is totally for FREE. Just pay whatever you consume at the venue.

See you there and feel free to DM the organiser for any question. Please update your RSVP as a courtesy to the organiser and people in the waitlist. Keep an eye on the event chat so that we can share information beforehand!

We have had two previous Fungi Book Club events. Feel free to take a look!
