Short Description aka Kratek opis

Make your own communication plug-in with underground network of the world! Social networks within the human species are our everyday life, they define our identity and expand our communication biotope in unimaginable ways. Do you want to connect to an even larger network, go beyond human race, enter the real 'underground' and go where no human ear has gone before? Do you want to bring the sound out of mushrooms and connect with the largest organism in the world, learn how fungi can replace plastics, cure people and save the world? All this these secrets of our planet's underground will be revealed in the workshop about the importance of mushrooms in our ecosystem and about their cultivation. You will also be able to find your connection with the mushroom by making your very own biohacked music box - MiniMycophone.

MiniMycophone - napravi si svoj lasten komunikacijski vtičnik s podgobjem sveta! Socialna omrežja znotraj človeške vrste so naš vsakdanjik, ki nas omrežuje, prepreda našo identiteto in širi naš komunikacijski biotop v neslutene širine. Se hočeš priklopiti na še večjo mrežo in preseči človeško vrsto ter vstopiti v resnični 'underground', kamor človeško uho le redko zaide? Želiš izvabiti zvok iz gob, se povezati z največjim organizmom na svetu, izvedeti kako glive lahko nadomestijo plastiko, zdravijo človeka in rešijo svet? Vse te skrivnosti podzemlja bomo razkrili na delavnici o pomenu gob v našem ekosistemu, o gojenju gob in naredili svojo bio-hakirano glasbeno skrinjico MiniMycophon.

Glossary

Mycophone

Mycophone is a biohacked music box developed by Saša Spačal, Mirjan Švagelj and Anil Podgornik. More info >> http://wiki.ljudmila.org/Mycophone.

Mycelium

Mycelium (plural mycelia) is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. The mass of hyphae is sometimes called shiro, especially within the fairy ring fungi. Fungal colonies composed of mycelia are found in soil and on or within many other substrates. A typical single spore germinates into a homokaryotic mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually; when two compatible homokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms. A mycelium may be minute, forming a colony that is too small to see, or it may be extensive, some call it the largest organism in the world.

Agar

Agar or agar-agar is a gelatinous substance derived by boiling a polysaccharide in red algae, where it accumulates in the cell walls of agarophyte and serves as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls.Agar is a mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin. Throughout history into modern times, agar has been chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work.

Oyster Mushroom aka Pleurotus

Pleurotus is a genus of gilled mushrooms which includes one of the most widely eaten mushrooms, P. ostreatus. Species of Pleurotus may be called oyster, abalone, or tree mushrooms, and are some of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. Pleurotus fungi have been used in mycoremediation of pollutants such as petroleum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
