Helping young people understand biodiversity and the role of fungi in the environment, encouraging cross-curricular links between Arts, Science, English, Music and History, and celebrating all who take part!

Be inspired by fungi

Discover, explore and get creative with the amazing world of fungi! Fungi Connect invites young people up to the age of 18 to find inspiration in the fungi around them and create something of their own. From art, photography and music to poetry, stories, science and history, there are many ways to explore the Kingdom Fungi.

Sign up as a group, get inspired and encourage everyone in your Fungi Connect Team to send us their fungus-inspired work. We’ll celebrate and share submissions on this website and online!

How to take part:
