Mysterious Mushrooms – Join the Discussion at Think Corner on October 21 or Follow the Stream!
Translated with a little help from AI.
Mushrooms can communicate, glow in the dark, and live for thousands of years. They are neither animals nor plants, exist even inside us, and are being explored as future building materials. Step into the fascinating world of fungi at Think Corner on Tuesday, October 21, from 5 PM to 7 PM!
The evening begins with two expert interviews: Tuula Niskanen and Sari Timonen on the mysteries of fungi, and Tuula Jyske and Jutta Varis on mushrooms as a solution for more sustainable building and eating. The discussions are hosted by journalist Jari Hanska, with audience questions to follow.
After the discussion, starting at 6:30 PM, visitors can meet the team behind the Asumia exhibition, on display at Think Corner. The exhibition highlights materials and organisms of the urban environment – such as trees and fungal mycelia – and also features music based on sounds created by fungi.
