Mycophilia

In "The Romance of the Fungus World", researchers Rolfe write that in literature, folklore and science, fungus are often associated with pestilence, death and decay, and their physicality appears creepy and repulsive. In this series, I move away from the mycophobic images of fungus in terms of conventional ideas and show their ability to create and be hospitable. I depict fungus as being like unearthly creatures, as in myths and theories about their cosmic origin.
