A bonus video from The Fungi Regeneration Lab - programme participant Matthias Cullmann, presents his Hamburg-based project STADTPILZE, which aims to democratise mushroom growing techniques and methods, even in an urban environment.

ABOUT "THE FUNGI REGENERATION LAB"

The Fungi Regeneration Lab is a dynamic learning experience that explores practical fungal applications to support resilient communities and ecosystems, including growing edible and medicinal mushrooms, building healthy fungal dominant soils and growing circular biomaterials with mycelium, a root-like structure of fungal threads. Drawing from Permaculture Design principles and Doughnut Economics tools, as well as business planning tools, we imagine more nature-inspired and locally rooted economies that meet the real needs of communities. We are creating a supportive network of fungi explorers who want to implement practical solutions in their communities, and we believe this is just the beginning of what could be our co-evolution with the help of the cosmic intelligence of fungi.

ABOUT RE-GREEN GREECE

Our Ethos

Re-Green was founded on the principles of working with nature rather than against it; providing a place for experiential learning where people can retreat and discover ways to regenerate both the planet and themselves.

Our Fungal Journey

In 2021, the Re-Green family grew bigger when a volunteer decided to start Mycorama, a mushroom project with a mission to explore permaculture ways of working with fungi in Greece. Their research and work has made it clear that there is a need to explore the possibilities of working with fungi to support our health and reduce our society's reliance on destructive industries.

The Purpose of this Project

We have seen the impact that bringing people together to learn and share in our Eco Culture Center can have. With this Erasmus+ programme we aim to facilitate a transnational exchange of skills and knowledge around fungi and regenerative practices, and create a space for new ideas to be born - contributing to the regenerative movement in Greece and beyond.

The Fungi Regeneration Lab is a joint program by Re-Green Greece and the Agency for Innovation & Entrepreneurship Austria, funded by the European Union.
