Dead leaves mark an autumnal silence; the forest holds its breath. Strange, winged creatures rise up among the rocks and pale trunks, birthed from coprinoid fungi and forest litter. Sensing danger, these inconspicuous pacifists use their tails to anchor themselves like statues to the forest floor, then take to the sky once that danger has passed. In Dracofungus, Xavier Collette explores the metamorphosis of life, transforming the humble mushroom into an ephemeral creature of legend.
