Sophie Strand describes 'mythic mycelium' as the subterranean tapestry woven from biology and lore, a network where fungal roots whisper ancient stories of the earth's primordial past. To her, it serves as a metaphor for interconnectedness, illustrating how life forms from different epochs and species exchange vital nutrients and information through invisible threads. Mythic mycelium is a living archive, a testament to the collaborative wisdom embedded in the natural world. In her view, it is the living embodiment of the idea that stories and ecosystems are interwoven, and that the deeper we dig, the more we uncover the profound symbiosis that underlies all existence. By embracing the concept of mythic mycelium, Strand invites us to see ourselves as part of a larger, ancient narrative that binds us to the earth and to each other.
