Here's a breathtaking excerpt from a feature documentary by director and cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg. He follows esteemed mycologist, Paul Stamets, as he discusses the important role mushrooms play in the survival and health of the earth and human species.
"The task we face today is to understand the language of nature...nature is a force of good. And good is not only a concept, it is a spirit." says Stamets.
Fungi generate soil that gives life. They form a powerful never ending network underground, detoxifying and contributing nutrients as they go.
The visuals are simply exquisite, and the message is powerful.
