Mycelium Garden

The Earth is a system. Animals, plants, but also fungi do not only react to weather but create it as they process energy and matter. Fungi normally remain hidden underground and we only see their mycelium when we dig up the soil or collect their fruiting bodies during the seasons. While plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates and other biomass, fungi have the ability to break down anything organic and feed on the energy stored in organic matter, as well as extract minerals from rocks. The mycorrhizae also form close bonds with plants, exchanging minerals and water for sugars. As decomposers, fungi form the basis for the next life cycle and nourish the new growth of the plants that created Earth's atmosphere. “Mycelium Garden” stages different strains of mycelium that feed on organic material. The fungi create a microclimate of gasses and aerosols alongside a beautiful variety of fruiting bodies.
