Sporesight: A Foresight and Fungi Collective Shaping Regenerative Futures

Sporesight is a social enterprise and multidisciplinary collective based in London, United Kingdom, that operates at the intersection of mycology, strategic foresight, and regenerative design. Founded by Jess Jorgensen, a nature rights advocate and regenerative design researcher, the organization is dedicated to closing the human-nature disconnect by applying the principles of fungal intelligence to modern business and social systems. Sporesight functions as a global network of experts, including mycologists, strategists, and innovators, who collaborate on projects that challenge extractive paradigms in favor of symbiotic ones. The collective's work is centered on myco-culture, a term that encompasses the study and application of fungi-inspired frameworks for organizational strategy. Their flagship project, Fungi as your Futurist, is a toolkit and playbook that introduces twelve regenerative design principles derived from the biological and ecological behaviors of fungi. These principles encourage institutions to adopt ecosystem-centric approaches, focusing on long-term stewardship over short-term gains. Sporesight offers a range of services including speaking engagements, immersive workshops, and strategic insight research. They work with a diverse array of clients, including B-Corps, non-profits, and innovation teams, to anticipate future trends and design impactful, sustainable transformations. Based in England, Sporesight is structured as a social enterprise where profits are reinvested into their mission and external regenerative initiatives. The organization emphasizes ancestral intelligence and inclusive accessibility, advocating for the rights of nature while promoting futures thinking for all. Their research is global in scope, exemplified by fieldwork in the Ugandan countryside and collaborations with leaders across the intersection of mycology and systems thinking. By positioning fungi as a mentor for innovation, Sporesight provides a unique lens through which to reimagine the relationship between human progress and the natural world.
