Fantastic Fungi
Imagine an organism that feeds you, heals you, reveals
secrets of the universe and could help save the planet.
Now imagine that it’s in the ground beneath your feet…
An artistically-shot, scientifically-sound, life-affirming film about mycelium: the incredible, intelligent network under our feet that has the proven ability to restore our ecosystem, repair our health, and resurrect our symbiotic relationship to nature. Fantastic Fungi aspires to be an educational, inspirational, and ultimately critical film that explores the uses and benefits of fungi in three critical areas.
First, we uncover the research that shows mycelium as a viable alternative to western pharmacology, including treatment for breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and PTSD. Second, we reveal studies that point to mycelium as a solution to our gravest environmental challenges, such as toxic oil spills and colony collapse disorder. Finally, we marvel at mycelium’s proven benefit on shifting consciousness and aiding in deep personal transformation. The research, discoveries, and anecdotal evidence we’ve gathered is astounding, particularly when shared through Louie’s visual storytelling.
An all-star team of artists, scientists, doctors and explorers are joining forces to create a mind-bending, life-affirming film about the mushroom and its mysterious root-like structure: mycelium. What they reveal will blow your mind, and possibly save the planet.
