Fungtional Autumn Event (brand activation)

by
Fungtional

Year: 2025

Commissioned By: Fungtional

Fungtional is a brand built around mushroom-based products. For this outdoor activation, they brought a small group into the autumn forest for a guided mushroom hunt; part foraging, part product introduction, part networking. I documented the day among the trees, following the gathering and the conversations that grew out of it.

Guests mingle at the Fungtional brand activation event in an autumn forest garden, framed through a gap in the hedgerow.
