Mushrooms, invisible but everywhere, essential and ancient, neither animal nor vegetable.
They only seem to appear in episodic circumstances. Yet they are there, all the time and everywhere.
Not only in the undergrowth soaked by autumn rains, but also in the air we breathe, in the food we eat, in the folds and creases of our bodies. They are essential to life on Earth, weaving nourishing networks for many organisms, but are also responsible for the death of many others.
Neither animal nor vegetable, they have existed for a billion years and are not about to disappear... Meet the fungi!
