Written and narrated by Yousef Kadoura, The Oracle and Her Mushroom explores a future plagued by natural disasters and a society that relies on oracles to survive. 

Centered around Balhis, a young oracle who embarks on a journey into the remains of human civilization, Yousef shares Balhis’ discovery of a powerful connection with the mycelium network beneath a devastated metropolis. 

In a conversation with host Syrus Marcus Ware, Kadoura discusses the broader implications of speculative fiction in imagining futures amidst the current climate crisis, drawing connections between Balhis’ journey and new ways humanity could coexist with the Earth.
