Gaiamycota

Part of Festival of the Mind 2016

Could fungus save the human race? Professor Duncan Cameron believes it could. Duncan’s address to the World Climate Change Conference in Paris (2015) carried a stark warning: our planet is becoming infertile. But his message is optimistic.

Watch to see how Gaiamycota uses sculpture, photography, film, sound and performance to explore whether fungus could be used to re-engineer the planet’s soil and save humanity.
