UPCOMING EVENTS

After a year hiatus, the New York Mycological Society is back and hosting its third annual Fungus Festival on Randall’s Island! The IBP will have a booth with Shroomscape available to rent out and play throughout the day. Come play with us and all the fungi-loving folx on what’s sure to be a beautiful autumn day.

Learn more about the event on the NYMS website and RSVP here to secure your spot to play Shroomscape! Walk-ins are welcome, but we suggest reserving to guarantee you get a chance to play as the festival is expected 1000+ attendees.

Fungus Festival will coincide with the launch of our Kickstarter, so you will be able to back the game in real time. Follow the project’s pre-launch page in the meantime.

We can’t wait to see you in October : )

current entanglement:

IBP’s original mycelium mindset game

You are mycelium, both microscopic and a multitude.

Thriving in ancient patterns under the earth, you now spawn, and grow piece by piece, as a
uniquely shaped geometric network. You wander in wonder across the board but move with purpose, growing towards resources whose nutrients you will share—an unbending pine tree, a mighty oak, a carcass that feeds the earth, a heap of manure, and a compost bin that is teeming with life.

Deeply entangled, the connections you create will form fertile ground for you to
fruit and spread your spores —your story of survival.

Your existence is the tension between collaboration and competition, even with your fellow mycelial networks. Your way of life and the environment that supports it present you with unexpected challenges and constantly changing conditions. Through every
situation, you must maintain a fine balance between working together and taking care of yourself.

Over time, your networks will form a unique
Shroomscape, lush with fruiting bodies and spores that tell the story of the biggest adventure of all: entangled life itself.
