Mycelium network is an example of the hidden underground connections between
mushrooms, plants and trees. Beneath the ground across the planet there are millions of
fine roots called hyphae which play an important part in nature.
Mycelium plays an important roll in protecting the environment and providing for humanity.
Apart from providing us with food and medicine, mycelium can save and regenerate trees
and plants after forest fires and they can even break down toxins in polluted soils and turn
them into harmless by-products.
After developing a passion for mushrooms and mycelium, the artist knew he had to create a
lighting display which would represent this amazing phenomenon and raise awareness of
this incredible species.
