Synopsis
Mushrooms will most probably still be around long after humans become extinct. It is specifically the invincibility of this type of fungi and its not yet fully explored aspects that set the tone for this unusual nature documentary. Scientists from various disciplines, mushroom lovers, and their tireless promoters all speak about them. These three groups all have one thing in common: whether in a laboratory, wandering through the woods, or during a public presentation, their fascination with the ability of mushrooms to survive in hostile environments, to perceive and communicate through mycelium, and to liquidate dangerous substances through decomposing and consuming them. "Fungi transform quickly into something else, so of course it's interesting to me as an artist. I tried to be diverse and organic in my approach – this film goes everywhere and you don't know where you are."
