Back by popular demand! This immersive journey through an underground network of fungi offers solutions to some of our most pressing medical and environmental challenges.

Mushrooms, it turns out, are just the visible part of an awesome organism known as mycelium, most of which lies below ground. Neither animal nor vegetable, this vast network of cells has been sharing nutrients and forming connections for billions of years, breaking down decaying matter and transforming it into living soil.

But Louie Schwartzberg's consciousness-shifting film is about much more than penicillin, rotting sandwiches in the fridge and your college roommate's illicit hallucinogens. Renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets and bestselling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others reveal the beauty and intelligence of the fungi kingdom—which may be the key to healing and saving our planet.
