About

Theres a secret kingdom full of mysteries
A whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life
And theyre all around us!

Welcome toTHE MUSHROOM SHOW!
Augustine Fogwoode might be the worlds MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi: their scientific superpowers and amazing abilities. But its just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might just need a few more fun-guys to make it happen.

Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family, The Mushroom Show is one person's mission to build a community and maybe itll become your mission too?

Critically acclaimed Scratchworks Theatre fuses their signature style of physical comedy, audience interaction and family theatre with the world of fungi. Award winning Scratchworks Theatre Company brings together science, music and participatory activities for whole families to experience together.
