Interviews


Stories behind the culture


Our interviews category gives voice to the people shaping the world of functional mushrooms, wellness, and design. From creators and scientists to athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs, these conversations reveal the inspiration, challenges, and ideas that drive modern lifestyles rooted in balance and creativity.

Conversations that inspire

Each interview dives deeper than surface trends, uncovering personal journeys, expert insights, and unique perspectives on topics like biohacking, non-alcoholic culture, sustainable design, and the evolving role of mushrooms in health and science. These stories highlight the human side of innovation and wellness, sparking new ways to think, live, and create.

A platform for the shroom community and their ideas

The Interviews section is more than a collection of conversations—it’s a space where the Shroom community connects with thought leaders and visionaries. By sharing their voices, we celebrate collaboration, curiosity, and the philosophy of “drink well, live well.” Every dialogue is an invitation to explore how functional living can shape the future.

Ludmila Bubanova doesn’t go on vacation. Instead of relaxation, she chooses a studio where knitting becomes a form of meditation, therapy, and emotional manifestation.

In a conversation with Kamila Knap, she talks about the power of daily practice, bodily inspirations, shame rooted in culture, and why the artist’s life still teeters on the edge of freedom and uncertainty.
