KINOKO

Kingdom fungi lives its life underground, a varied and complex ecosystem hidden from human perception. The mushrooms that we see are only a small byproduct of a thriving subterranean network of cryptic mycelia conjoining into entire societies. Kinoko is simply the fruit we see, while below rhizomorphic tendrils stretch toward one other, twining into a complex and living whole. Its shapes are alien, uncanny, and yet the soil beneath us pulses with its life. It has as much claim to the world as we do – and perhaps more.
