Mycelial Landscapes – A Conversation with Merlin Sheldrake and Barney Steel

Recorded live at our Shifting Landscapes exhibition in London last
December, this conversation between Emergence Magazine executive
editor Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, renowned mycologist and author Merlin
Sheldrake, and Marshmallow Laser Feast creative director Barney
Steel—who was behind the exhibition’s large-scale installation
Breathing with the Forest—explores the mycelial webs that
infiltrate and sustain our landscapes. Embracing the mystery and
wonder of fungi as a means of deconstructing our Western
philosophies around the self, the nature of intelligence, and the
possibilities within community, each spoke to how the relational
phenomenon of fungi could soften the imagined boundaries between
our bodies and the great biosphere. Read the transcript. Sign up
