Appearing live on screen via video link, Merlin Sheldrake, world-renowned mycologist and author of “Entangled Life”, joins us for an in-depth discussion hosted by multi-award-winning ABC journalist and presenter Natasha Mitchell.

The fungi kingdom has shaped our world for more than a billion years. Does it hold the answers to rewriting our future?

Journey deep into the roots of nature to the mycelial universe beneath our feet that braids all life on Earth together and has the power to change our minds, heal our bodies, and safeguard our future.

Set against the backdrop of our iconic lush Forest Gallery after dark, emerge with a renewed sense of optimism for what lies ahead.

From the mystical to the practical, immerse yourself in the mushroom experience with edible fungi treats provided by Long Prawn.
