As part of Queen Mary University of London's Climate Action Week, Alani and Alessandro invite you to step into the fantastic world of fungi. This interactive event includes talks and a hands-on practical mushroom activity. Together we will explore some topics within the extensive field of fungi such as: low tech cultivation and rethinking our systems of food/waste and society through a fungal lense. Following discussions you will get to do a practical mushroom cloning where you will get to take home your very own mycelium "pet" and watch grow! Alani, a local mushroom farmer for MADLEAP has been working in the field of regenerative agriculture for 5 years, with a current focus on low tech urban mushroom cultivation. Engaged in local food justice activism they bring in practical experience to redesigning systems. Alessandro is a fantastic researcher and lecturer at Queen Mary in accounting. He has done work using mushrooms as metaphors for systems thinking, encouraging high-level accountants to think differently about how sustainability might be approached.
