Backyard Bash: Understories
Beneath our feet, a complex network of underground filaments known as mycelium are transmitting messages and redistributing nutrients among the trees for the greater health of the Grove. Above ground, the mysteries of these networks sometimes manifest in the form of mushrooms. Abbigail Dougherty invites us into this network through a series of “mushroom mailboxes that act as waypoints for thought.” Seek out each mushroom to discover a hidden message and writing materials to prompt reflection and action.
