About
Season 06. MycolographWho is Thinner than Snakes?
A conversation about the life of mushrooms in forests, memories, myths, and stereotypes.
A reflection on mycophobia and mycophilia, Soviet cakes and mushrooms with eyes, happy hedgehogs and poisonous snakes. The work uses excerpts from Mikhail Vishnevsky’s video blog Mushroom Messenger, anthropologist Long Litt Woon’s book The Way Through the Woods: Of Mushrooms and Mourning, Olard Dikson’s study Mysteries of Fly Agaric, and texts and interviews found online. Listen on headphones.
