About
Mycologist maestro Darren Le Baron delivers this thought provoking and some say life changing presentation about all things fungi. Connecting the ancient origins of fungi and their relationship to the human experience.
Did you know that mushrooms breathe air, drink and eat food just like we do? or better we do just like they do as mushrooms have been here doing it a lot longer than us. That’s not all we have in common. Did you know that mushrooms are genetically more closely related to humans than they are to plants. We share an ancient common ancestor.
Did you know, some of these ancestors were alien visitors to this planet, they arrived here many moons ago, bringing with them extra-terrestrial resources and organic technology… plus the key ingredients that would permit life as we know it today on Earth? No… Curious to learn more?
Prepare to be amazed as Darren explores the intriguing notion that humans are essentially mushrooms having a human experience.
Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and gain unique insights into the extraordinary world of mushrooms.
