How weird is it to be told that our ways of being, desiring and relating are unnatural, when clearly nature is so damn queer? When we look at the fungal world, in which some have over 23,000 genders, it gets even more obvious. There's beautiful parallels to explore between fungi and queerness that hold great potential to deepen our kinship and solidarity with the non-human world and to cherish our own queer nature. In the end we'll move as one human-bodied mycelial being. Come curious, even if you're a little weirded out by mushrooms...
