Mushroom People Magazine | Broccoli
VOLUME 1
What is a mushroom? What do mushrooms mean? What do mushrooms do? What do we want from mushrooms? What do the mushrooms want?
These are the questions the makers of Broccoli ask and answer in Mushroom People, our special edition, single-issue magazine for mycophiles. We call on artists, writers, and fungi enthusiasts from around the world to explore mushroom fact and fantasy, collecting specimens of all kinds: the strange and familiar, beautiful and ugly, toxic and healing, ephemeral and enduring.
Inside Mushroom People, Bethany van Rijswijk delves into the folklore of the magic mushroom, arrangements by Leslie Kirchhoff and Yasmine Khatib prove that mushrooms are the new flowers, Claire L. Evans goes inside the trip report forum Erowid, Zoe Gong heals what ails us, Adrienne Kammerer paints a slug’s-eye-view, William Padilla-Brown talks citizen mycology, Shruti Ravindran breaks down the neuroscience of tripping, and Lio Min searches for counter-culture on the forest floor. Plus: MycoAstrology, Mushroom Fashion Week, the search for a lost perfume, hacking a chat-shroom in the Wood Wide Web, glowing mushroom lamps, Mixtec transcendental gastronomy, a mushroom burial suit, and much more.
192 pages, perfect bound. Features three premium paper stocks. Measures 8.25” x 11.25”.
VOLUME 2
Like the life-filled microcosm of a richly decaying stump, the sequel to our best-selling magazine hosts an eclectic variety of stories illuminating the ways mushrooms subvert and expand our understanding of the world around us. In Mushroom People 2, we hear from astromycologists, academics, architects, pharmacists, foragers, fashion designers, home cooks, shopkeepers, composers, and poets all inspired by the many radical ways of being fungi embody.
The stories in these pages explore creation, destruction, attraction, and revulsion: Lauren Oster examines the outer limits of fungi's off-planet potential, Maria Pinto writes about the city as a holobiont, Riitta Ikonen and Annie Collinge find human-sized mushrooms in the Finnish wilds. Bethany van Risjwijk explores the folkloric connection between thunder, lightning, and mushrooms, and Anna Kodé serves mushrooms for dessert. Plus: fungal attachment styles, mushroom zombies, the mycobiome, cozy mushroom houses; and a bonus section on slime molds that oozes with wonder and possibility.
