Fantastic Fungi

The magic beneath us

7.3(202)20191h 20m2

A vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit— the mushroom. A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi makes the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet, like an underground Internet. 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.

    Fantastic Fungi (2019) insists that mushrooms are intelligent — ​​and they certainly are, compared to the quote-unquote experts featured in this pseudocumentary. Then again, the narration, from the point of view of a mushroom (or all of them, unless this particular one is using the royal “we”), doesn’t make them seem like the sharpest knife in the kitchen: “You can’t see us, but we bloom around you.
