Relationships with Fungi. . .  It Can Seem Complicated

John Cage Trust

A special talk on the wonderful word of mushrooms for the John Cage Mycological Foray!

Join us at the John Cage Trust for an exploration into the funky and fascinating world of Fungal Relationships and build on your Ecological Literacy!Fungi are amazing ecological facilitators! They form some of the most interesting relationships and partner with a wide variety of organisms. These associations can be mutualistic, or one organism may benefit while the other seems unaffected, but some relationships are downright parasitic (which is not always negative)!The talk will be given by Luke Sarrantonio as part of the <a href="https://johncage.org/mushroom2026" title="https://johncage.org/mushroom2026" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">John Cage Mycological Foray</a> at Bard College (click the link for the compete schedule of free events).

The John Cage Trust furthers the legacy of late American composer John Cage by gathering together, organizing, preserving, and disseminating his work. The John Cage Trust ensures that Cage’s voice remains vibrant, and toward that provides access to our archives, gives information about his life, guides how his works might best be performed or exhibited, and presents, organizes, and collaborates on programs, performances, exhibitions, and scholarship.We are guided not so much by what Cage has done but, rather, by what Cage’s legacy is doing now.John Cage (1912–1992) is routinely hailed as one of the most influential and generative artists of the 20th century, a creator of groundbreaking music compositions, artworks, and works of literature. We believe that Cage’s life and work continue to expand how we might experience and think about music, art, poetry, performance, philosophy, and the ways we live our lives. The John Cage Trust, located at Bard College, preserves his legacy as a living archive.
