‘The Alchemy of Fungi’ springs from my captivation with fungi, their diverse characteristics and their often-mysterious roles within the ecosystem. They not only have a wide range of colours and unique forms, but it’s their extraordinary abilities that inspire me. This piece aims to highlight and explore the complex and ecologic importance of the fungi kingdom within a scientific setting, delving into their ability to heal both humans and the planet, while also acknowledging their capacity to harm species.
