Fungi for Fungi
Cast mushrooms (designed to fertilize fungus as they compost) to be installed in a forest in need of bio-remediation, a small attempt at reparations
This is a preliminary study for the work Fungi for Fungi created for Invasive Species. For the actual execution of the work, 100+ biodegradable fungi will be cast and placed on a forested slope where the ecosystem has been disrupted. As the sculptures break down, their components will nourish the soil and promote the growth of actual fungus, which in turn will continue to enrich and stabilize the damaged ecosystem.
