In the approach to a design process of this imaginary, a bridge of symbiotic methodologies between the intelligence of fungi and artificial intelligence is enabled, where from databases that contain photographs of three basidiomycete genera of fungi: Agaricus, Amanita and Suillus, a machine learning model is trained based on StyleGAN2 (an AI program) that learns the patterns of the textures and morphologies of mushrooms to generate new series of images based on these patterns. Based on these results, a futuristic fictional narrative is reconstructed about a world without us.
