Mushrooms are among the oldest living organisms, offering dramatic colors, and alien forms. This piece celebrates their beauty while reminding viewers of their fragility — and how protecting them protects the environments where we work, live, and breathe. Through wet felting, I transformed local sheep wool into my interpretation of turkey tail fungi. The tangled fibers echo the hidden networks beneath the forest floor, where fungal threads interlace with roots and other organisms to share nutrients and sustain life. As mushrooms form relationships with microbes inside trees, I hope this artwork forms a relationship with the viewer, sparking conversation about climate change. Fungi funnel an estimated 13 billion tons of CO₂ each year, helping stabilize ecosystems and enrich the soil.
