A foray into fungi in language and song

A playful exploration of the literary, linguistic, and lyrical significance of fungi in Scotland. Join us for a playful exploration of the literary, linguistic, and lyrical significance of fungi in Scotland. What do mushrooms have to do with language? What would fungal folk music sound like? How do we describe mushrooms in Scots? This event will take you on a foray into these questions and more, revealing the surprising connections between fungi, creativity, and culture. The event will be followed by an audience Q&A. About the speaker Lynne Campbell is host of The Scottish Mushroom Podcast, a prizewinning Scots singer, and storyteller.
