Hi Andy,

thanks for the message. It is indeed a most unsociable hour, I'll be very
impressed indeed if anyone does make it down!

There will be photos from it though, and it will be broadcast live on the web,
so there will be later opportunities to see it, if not in person.

If anyone is interested in keeping up with how the campaign goes, please join my
facebook group, Fungus on the Fourth Plinth.

best wishes,

martha

I've been lucky enough to draw a place in this project, and have decided to use
my hour of fame to tell people about how wonderful, and essential to life as we
know it, fungi are. I'll be doing this with banners, a megaphone, fancy dress,
and hopefully some like-minded people around the bottom of the plinth to help me
out.

support from anyone interested! I'm doing this with the aid of Prof Lynne Boddy

myself and hopefully many more people will be there. If anyone wants to join us,
or has ideas of how to promote the event or get media coverage so we can tell as
many people as possible about fungi, please get in touch!
