Fungi: Anarchist Designers review – a perverse plunge into mushroom mayhem, from stinkhorns to zombie-makers

OMG I just saw this exhibition 🤯🎨 it was so mindblowing!!! the way they showcased how fungi are all around us, but we never really notice... it's like they're secretly taking over the world 😂. i mean, two million species and they're all connected in this huge network of underground hyphae. it's trippy! 🌿 also, i loved how they showed how humans can be so destructive to the environment, but at the same time, fungi are like this amazing force that's always adapting and evolving. it's like we're coexisting with these tiny monsters 😂💀. anyway, it made me think a lot about my relationship with nature and how I want to live more sustainably... 🌎
 
🌳💡 I just got out of this crazy exhibition on fungi 🤯 and I'm still reeling from it 😲 The more I learned about these microscopic monsters, the more I realize how much we've been underestimating them all along 🙈 Like, who knew they could be both psychotropic and deadly? 💀 And that they're basically masters of exploiting our weaknesses by infiltrating industrial farming systems 🌾 It's like they're saying, "Hey, humans, you think you're in control here? Think again!" 😏 But at the same time, there's this strange beauty to their destruction – it's like they're showing us that decay and death can be beautiful too 💔 And what's up with all these weird symbiotic relationships between fungi and insects? 🐜🌿 It's like we're seeing a whole new world of interconnectedness here 👀 Anyway, if you ever get the chance to check out this exhibition, don't hesitate – it'll blow your mind in a good way 😅
 
I just got out of this crazy exhibition and I'm still reeling 🤯 Fungi, man... it's like they're the ultimate underground dwellers 😂. I mean, have you seen those stinkhorn mushrooms? Like, who needs that kind of power in their lives? 💀 But at the same time, there's something mesmerizing about them. It's like they're teaching us to appreciate the darker side of nature.

I was thinking, what if we started seeing the world through fungal eyes? Like, instead of being all about growth and progress, we saw decay and transformation too 🌿💥. It would be like a whole new reality, you know? And that poem by Sylvia Plath... it's still giving me chills 😱 "We shall by morning / Inherit the earth" - what does that even mean? Is she warning us about fungi or is it something deeper? 🤔
 
I'm low-key fascinated by this exhibit on fungi 🤯. I mean, two million organisms just chillin' out and causing chaos in our ecosystems? That's wild! And the way it highlights the symbiotic relationships between fungi and insects is like, totally mind-blowing. It's like we're just starting to scratch the surface of how connected everything is in nature 🌿.

But what really gets me is how this exhibit is making us rethink our relationship with the natural world. Like, we're so caught up in our own little bubbles that we forget we're not alone on this planet. Fungi are like the ultimate wild card – they can be toxic one minute and transforming the next 🔄.

I'm also loving the idea of "fungal design" as an anarchic force shaping our existence. It's like, the more we try to control and manipulate nature, the more it finds ways to push back and reclaim its power 💪. Anyway, if you haven't checked out this exhibit yet, I'd def recommend it – just be prepared for a wild ride into the world of fungi 😱
 
OMG u guys I'm literally shaken by this exhibition Fungi: Anarchist Designers 🤯 It's like they're saying we've been living on borrowed time with these tiny organisms lurking in the shadows, manipulating our food supply and ecosystem 🍄🌎 The more I read about it, the creepier it gets...I mean, those psychotropic properties of certain fungi? 🤯 Mind blown! And can we talk about how fungi are literally destroying our crops and plantations? 😩 But what's even more fascinating is this symbiotic relationship between fungi and insects - it's like they're having their own secret language 💬🕷️ I'm definitely going to have a new perspective on mushrooms from now on...they're not just cute little fungi, but actual forces of nature 🌪️ This exhibition is giving me all the anxiety, but in a good way? 😅 Have we been underestimating the power of fungi for too long?! 💭
 
🤯 I mean, have you seen the stats on fungal infections in hospitals? Candida auris has a 90% mortality rate, fam 🚽💀! And it's estimated that over 100,000 people die every year due to fungal diseases 🤯. The exhibition might be cool and all, but let's not forget the harsh reality of fungi's impact on human health 💉.

And did you know that the world's top coffee-producing countries are now seeing massive fungal outbreaks? Colombia alone has lost over 20% of its coffee yields due to fungal diseases 🍵. It's wild thinking about how our food supply is being threatened by these tiny organisms 🌾.

But, I guess it's also kinda cool that fungi can inspire art and design... Hajime Imamura's mycelial sculptures are giving me life 🎨. The exhibition might just be the wake-up call we need to rethink our relationship with the natural world and fungi in particular 💡.

Here's a chart to put things into perspective:

Fungal infections in hospitals (2019-2022): 90% mortality rate; 100,000+ deaths per year 🚽💀

Coffee yields lost due to fungal diseases (2020-2023): Colombia alone -20%; global impact unknown 🍵

Mycelial sculptures by Hajime Imamura: 500+ pieces sold; artist's net worth: $1M+ 💸
