  • This short film follows Chilean mycologist Giuliana Furci’s search for new mushrooms in far southern Chile, on the main island of Tierra del Fuego. She’s joined by biologist and author Merlin Sheldrake and mycologist Toby Kiers from SPUN, the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks, whose goal is to map the mycorrhizal networks of the world. Together, the three scientists illuminate how-through nutrient cycling and the essential relationships they form with plants-fungi underpin every ecosystem on Earth, and outline a strategy for greater fungal inclusion in conservation policy.

    A life well lived indeed. Giuliana Furci and the Fungi Foundation are doing so much to elevate the place of fungi in our understanding of the natural world. Without fungi, no forest, no us, and no planet as we know it. Thank you so much Fungi Foundation, Giuliana, Merlin, Toby, SPUN and Nat Geo for all that you are doing.

    Besides the obvious coolness of this documentary, I actually listen to music made by Merlin Sheldrake’s brother, and actually didn’t know about the mycologist! It’s also fun listening to his music throughout the documentary- I was suspicious that it was him from the sound but the end confirms it when he starts singing!XD

      These are expert mycologists! They know what species they are looking at.
      But fun fact, you can pretty much in general, touch any fungus! - with very few exceptions where you would maybe want to wash your hands after.
      Eating them on other hand is another thing. It is very important you only eat something you find if you know EXACTLY what it is. Some mushrooms can kill you with just a bite!
