Fly Agaric I is part of Marshmallow Laser Feast’s Poetics of Soil series illuminating the hidden kingdoms of life underground and weaving the words and voice of renowned mycologist and author Merlin Sheldrake into a living tapestry. Here, the Amanita muscaria mushroom pulses and oscillates, unveiling the hidden rhythms of the earth’s soil—a glimpse into the “home of the lives that give us life.”

Beneath our feet hums another world, expansive and inventive, yet concealed from view.  Fly Agaric I is part of Marshmallow Laser Feast’s Poetics of Soil series illuminating the hidden kingdoms of life underground.

This ongoing project reframes our relationship with soil and the diverse species it harbours—from trees and fungi to bacteria, archaea, and protozoa. Each species provides a unique lens on the microcosms that sustain life on Earth, knitting soil into living networks with complexity beyond anthropogenic webs.
