About this movie

When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world. Fantastic Fungi, directed by Louie Schwartzberg, is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.

Excellent photography; mediocre, repetitive narrative. Could have told the same story in half the length.

We you and I everyone are connected without this or rather persisting in a state of ignorance concerning the fact that everything on this planet is part of what physicist David Bohm calls wholeness and the implicate order which addresses the same issue as this film simply from a different perspective in Hinduism there is a part of the religion that refers to indra's net which is a multifaceted view of things where one reality is seen from different angles . This film addresses the same wholeness
