Fantastic Fungi
A fascinating voyage into the enigmatic subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit, the mushroom, is the focus of Fantastic Fungi. Fungi are the heroes of a story that began 3.5 billion years ago when they created the soil that supports life by connecting massive networks of roots from plants and trees all across the world, much like an underground internet. We witness the power, beauty, and complexity of the fungal world 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. In many ways, the film serves as a model for what binds all of mankind together with the rest of the universe. A great deal about mycelium may be learned, and Fantastic Fungi is an amazing location to begin the process of bringing us all together as interwoven builders of our planet. Fantastic Fungi is a must-see for everyone interested in mycelium and the world of fungi.
