Polyporus Versipaper is a new species of paper mushroom found in I-park, East Haddam, Connecticut, in September 2019.
Meaning 'of several papers', the Versipaper reliably describes this paper fungus that displays different strata of human trashed memories.
Its body is made of layers of discarded books and documents, art magazines, auction catalogues, and newspapers. Its shape modifies its features thanks to the interaction of injected mushroom spores, weather, sunshine, rain, and wind. Caterpillars, larvae, and wild animals may eat it. Intra-action, connections, dynamism, fluidity and transformation are part of its life cycle.
