Planet Fungi. A Photographer's Foray - Pilzfestspiele 2025

Step into the enchanting world of fungi through the eyes of two extraordinary storytellers. Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak of Planet Fungi present their brand-new book, Planet Fungi – A Photographer’s Foray, hot off the press and for the first time in Vienna.
Through stunning visuals, personal reflections, and a live reading, the duo invites you behind the scenes of their global journeys—sharing the stories, surprises, and serendipitous moments that shaped their work. From rainforests to remote woodlands, discover how their camera has captured the often-overlooked beauty and mystery of fungi.
After the talk, you're warmly invited to stay for a drink at the bar, explore the accompanying exhibition, and connect with fellow fungi enthusiasts in a relaxed atmosphere.
Whether you're a long-time admirer of their work or just stepping into the fungal realm, this evening promises inspiration, insight, and a celebration of nature’s most curious kingdom.
