Pint of View Lecture: The Secret Lives of Mushrooms
About the event
Welcome to Pint of View where classroom-style lectures meet drinks in pubs and bars.
Most of us think of mushrooms as something we eat or something we avoid touching.
But beneath that surface is a world that feels almost unreal.
Fungi flirt. They compete. They form alliances. They build vast underground networks that move resources, communicate signals, and quietly hold ecosystems together.
And most of this is happening out of sight.
This upcoming lecture takes you into that hidden world.
From chaotic fungal relationships to the invisible systems that connect entire landscapes, this session explores how fungi live, interact, and shape the environments around us in ways we rarely notice.
Through stories, quick interactions, and surprising insights, we’ll look at the organisms that are quietly running the world and probably living closer to you than you’d expect.
About the Lecturer
MycoDyke aka M is a mycologist, artist, and forager based in New Delhi whose life goal is to become a mushroom.
They host India’s first urban mushroom foraging walks, turning everyday spaces into sites of curiosity and discovery. Their work brings together science, art, and storytelling through immersive workshops and multisensory experiences that invite people to think with fungi.
They are the India Program Lead at the Fungi Foundation, working on ethnomycology, education, and conservation with communities across the country. Across their practice, they explore ecological intimacy as a framework for multispecies survival.
