Bengaluru Climate Party ft. Rooted in resilience: Fungi & Climate Futures
About The Climate Party
The Climate Party is building a Scenius - collective genius - for Climate solutions in India.
This is a series of immersive learning & community events curated to enable people, either already working in or seriously considering a transition to the Climate space, to discover more of their kind across domains and cross-pollinate ideas for action.
Event Details
“God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Einstein, pointing to nature’s quiet intentionality. Few things reveal this better than Fungi🍄 : Hidden, yet everywhere.
Fungi are nature's recyclers, the foundation of all food, omnipresent yet unseen. Beneath our feet, their mycelial networks weave forests of reciprocity, reminding us of our own interdependence - connecting us to our ancestors & children alike.
We invite you to the mysteriously wonderful world of Fungi where we try understanding it as fortified nutrition, applied material & medicine - a tangible form of resilience.
From uncovering indigenous stories of its cultivation & foraging to learning about fungi's advanced biomaterial applications and creating alt-proteins, discover how an abundant but less understood species is turning out to be a vital ally in shaping our climate resilience. Watch this short video and find out what you don't know about Fungi!
What to expect
💡Interactive dialogue
A candid dialogue with innovators from India’s evolving mushroom ecosystem:
Biplab Mahato | Founder, Shroomin – ancestral knowledge, folklore & community resilience
Tanush Prem | Founder, Mushloop – mycelium’s hidden potential in packaging, dyes & design
Dr. Yashaswini Balaruju | TerraVerteX Innovation Hub – fungi-based proteins and innovations in other food-based applications
Together, they’ll share their respective processes, challenges, and what’s still missing in building fungi-powered futures - along with tangible samples of their creations.
🍄 Showcase & sensory exploration
Witness fungi's applications as packaging material & dye composites
Observe the underground, invisible mycelium network under a microscope
Sample fungi-based food - pickles, powders & chocolates
Touch & feel a large variety of mushrooms from different regions of India
🎵 Mushrooms as your DJ
Zoheb Mamoo, a tech-artist, will be setting up a mushroom synthesizer which will make the bio-electric signals of mushrooms come alive as audio - this is going to be lit!
