Calling all fungi fans! Participants joined us for a spore-tacular evening, presented by LES Ecology Center, of playtesting Shroomscape, a mycelium mindset game designed by the Interbeing Project.

All were welcome but registration was required.

Shroomscape:
In Shroomscape, you play as one of four mushroom characters, with specific strengths and weaknesses. Experience the entire mushroom lifecycle as you grow towards Resource Pieces in unique geometric patterns, collect Resource Tokens, sprout Fruiting Bodies, and release Spores! As you connect, collaborate, and compete with fellow mycelium, your networks will form a unique Shroomscape, lush with fruiting bodies and spores that tell the story of the biggest adventure of all: entangled life itself.

The Interbeing Project
The Interbeing Project is an immersive, emotional, and playful examination of the interdependent nature of human and non-human life, through a series of sensory entanglements. These entanglements have taken the form of participatory walks, meditations facilitated by AI, rituals, and very importantly, Shroomscape–the mycelium-mindset board game!
