Fungal Communication invites audiences to rethink what it means to communicate with the more-than-human world. Blending mycology, philosophy, foraging practice, and reflections from her debut book Gathered: On Foraging, Feasting, and the Seasonal Life, Gabrielle Cerberville explores fungi not as metaphors for connection, but as living beings whose ways of sensing, exchanging, decomposing, and world-making challenge human assumptions about individuality, intelligence, and relationship. Cerberville ponders how foraging could renew practices of attention, reciprocity, humility, and responsibility.
