Fantastic Fungi
Fantastic Fungi takes readers on a dramatic tour through the strange underground world of mycelium and its fruit, the mushroom. Fungi create the soil that sustains life, connecting massive networks of roots from plants and trees all over the world, much like an underground Internet. We experience the fungal kingdom's power, beauty, and complexity through the eyes of renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, professor of forest ecology Suzanne Simard, best-selling author Michael Pollan, and food naturalist Eugenia Bone, among others. The film serves as a model for what binds people and the natural world together. There is much to learn from the world of mycelium, and Fantastic Fungi is an amazing location to start connecting us as interconnected makers of our planet.
