Cineuropa: Someone says in the film that you don t look for mushrooms â
they find
you. How did they find you, then?
Marion Neumann: I grew up close to the forest, precisely with this sensation of being âfoundâ by the mushrooms. Then I met people from the film who inspired me to start doing the actual research: mostly
Peter McCoy, who co-founded Radical Mycology [a grassroots mycological advocacy organisation], and
Geoffroy Renaud-Grignon [founder of Champignons Maison]. It was their enthusiasm that did it. It was less about the actual mushrooms and more about this whole way of being. Being âshroomedâ, as one says! People who are close to this subject are very passionate â you have to be. It s all so complex.
