**//My mycelium network is nearly immortal, only the sudden toxification of a planet or the explosion of its parent star can wipe me out… all my mycelial networks in the galaxy are in hyperlight communication across space and time.//** //Terence McKenna, The Mushroom speaks//

**Mycelium Network Society** is a network initiative from INFOLAB at [[https://stwst.at/|Stadtwerkstatt]] (Linz, Austria) and [[http://cyclex.info/|CycleX]] (Andes, New York) since 2017.

-

**Mycelium Network Society** is an underground network imagination situated in a post-internet mudland and powered by fungus, spores, culture, kitchen, radio, transmission, installations, workshops and performances.

**Mycelium Network Society** pursuits magic mushroom, from a state of hyper-hallucination to collective fungal consciousness, investigates the fungi culture, its network capacity to communicate and process information.

**Mycelium Network Society** as an after nature’s network commands its own domain in human-disturbed forests - sprouting across the moisture of rich soils, expanding its colonies, sharing informations, networking co-habitants across borders

**Mycelium Network Society** seeks out mycelium to lead us out of the ruins, to construct political tactics, to salvage economic meltdown, to persist in constant molecular communication a la mycelium mode.
