Mycoforms: A family of invented biomimetic forms

A mycoform is an invented poetic form that borrows a feature or process from fungi to inform its form, logic, sound, or poetics. Like fungi themselves, mycoforms form a diverse family rather than a single fixed form. Each imposes a fungal logic or constraint on the poem while leaving other elements – subject, language, rhythm, voice and meaning – free to grow within it.
