Sylvia Plath’s “exercises on mushrooms,” Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Grammar of Animacy, Jakob von Uexküll’s umwelt and the mycophilic Latvian language serve as key touchstones as we explore how to write about, and with, fungi. We’ll collaborate with real-life mushrooms via generative exercises and timed prompts and expand our mycelial vocabulary for future world-building. Last seen at Cumberland’s 2026 Fungus Fest.
