About the artwork

Did you know mushrooms do not use the labels Male or Female because they use isogamy to reproduce. Isogamy is where mushrooms reproductive cells are indistinguishable from one another and are roughly the same size and shape, unlike other animals that have sperm or egg cells. This results in over 23 thousand variations of reproduction in mushrooms.

This artwork is part of Kit Turner’s Queer by Nature collection which highmushrooms only have to be compatible genetic variants to reproduce? There are over 23 thousand different ways mushrooms can mate. lights the connection between queer identity and the natural world. All profit from this collection directly goes to wards funding Kit’s medical transition (Top Surgery) and after he achieves this a percentage will go towards LGBTQ and Transgender organisations.
