Beatrix Potter and Mycology with V&A Curator of Illustration Annemarie Bilclough

A V&A curator talks about Beatrix Potter's scientific study of mushrooms and their place in her folklore and storytelling.

Annemarie Bilclough, Frederick Warne Curator of Illustration at the V&A, explores Beatrix Potter's fascination with fungi. The talk covers Potter's experiences as a scientist studying and experimenting with mushroom germination, as well as her interest in fungi in relation to folklore and storytelling.
