Domaine de Boisbuchet, Lessac, France
For some years mycelium has been used in the design field to assist in the fabrication of new bio-circular materials (myco-fabrication), a process which we look to explore and expand upon.
In this workshop participants were able to bring mycelium outside of the sterile myco-fabrication lab and to let it grow in its natural environment, allowing them to engage in a physical interaction with the land, beginning with an holistic exploration of Boisbuchet’s locality, identifying and understanding the role of local fungi, followed by experiments with mycelium and local substrates, seeking to think “beyond the mold” in order to consider a more reciprocal collaboration with the organism.
