The Royal College of Fungi
The RCF is an education model based on the principal functions of the mycorrhizal network.
The aim is to create an alternative strategy to higher education by using the neighbour-sensing model for generating new interactions within social infrastructures.Â
The RCF aims to create a new kind of interaction with students and to change the relationship between students and institution.
The RCF believes that the natural sciences could inform the social sciences, starting with education.
