Channeling the Mycelial Muse: The Art & Vision of Irene Antonez 🍄 ✨The MycoGeeky Podcastpisode

Irene Antonez doesn’t just paint mushrooms—she channels them. A Prague-based artist, musician, and lifelong mycophile, her work merges a sort of scientific precision with deep creative intuition, revealing the unseen worlds of fungi, lichens, and microorganisms in a way that speaks directly to cultivators, artists, and visionaries alike.

With a background in Future Design and Fine Art, Irene’s art is fueled by microscopic research, hands-on foraging, and a reverence for the natural intelligence of fungi. She draws from old school botanical artists, ethnomycology, and the organic chaos of mycelial networks—transforming spores and hyphae into intricate, mesmerizing compositions. Whether she’s painting the delicate veils of an Amanita, magnifying the cryptic beauty of mycelium, or weaving feminist symbolism into her work, Irene’s art invites us to see fungi not just as organisms, but as creative collaborators.

Beyond her canvas, Irene is a mycelial storyteller—teaching workshops, crafting entheogenic mandalas, and contributing to projects like Mushroom Magic, where film, fungi, and art converge. For those who see mycology as more than just science—who view cultivation, music, and visual art as extensions of the fungal mind—Irene’s work is a portal into a world where creativity and mycelium grow together.
