Mycorrhizal Movements

This paper presents a critical commentary on an interview titled “Mycorrhizal Movements,” with distinguished mycologist Giuliana Furci which centered on the efforts of her organization “Fungi Foundation” in preserving the fungal queendom. The interview, conducted by Lenka Vráblíková, Elspeth Mitchell, and Xalli Zúñiga, emphasizes the transformative potential of fungi in reshaping socio-environmental justice. Topically, it explores mycologically inclusive language, the integration of Indigenous knowledge, and feminist perspectives as it advocates for a nuanced understanding of life, highlighting the vital role of fungi in fostering interconnected ecosystems and challenging capitalist exploitation. The discussion underscores the importance of ethical and political responsibilities in addressing capitalist extractivist practices and promoting a regenerative approach to the ecopolitical organization of life
