2019 - Fantastic Fungi

Imagine an organism that feeds you, heals you, reveals secrets of the universe and could help save the planet. Now imagine that it’s in the ground beneath your feet…

A vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit— the mushroom.

Through the eyes of renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, professor of forest ecology Suzanne Simard, best selling author Michael Pollan, food naturalist Eugenia Bone and others, we experience the power, beauty and complexity of the fungi kingdom. themoviedb
