      I am from Pakistan, I go on long hikes in Himalayan mountains every year and find so many types of mushrooms. They are so fascinating but I don't know which ones are edible. I wish you could visit Pakistan during late August till September end and you will be amazed.

    Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to share your thoughts. I think there may be a misunderstanding. When Saurev says very little is known about Fungi he’s talking specifically about in Assam and he does qualify that. It is correct that people there seem on the whole to have lost that cultural knowledge. However, in the documentary we also say that in Arunachal Pradesh and in Meghalaya the local people know much more about Fungi. The purpose of the documentary was to record what they knew, so it could be shared with others in India, who may have lost that knowledge and have similar species. And of course to photographically document that Fungi so that it could be used in field guides. It is true that the people from Balipara could have asked these questions themselves and on an ongoing basis they do ask those questions. The photographer Stephen Axford asked those questions in the film as a storytelling device to make that information accessible to an international audience. I hope that explains what was meant.

      Great content..! have been interested in fungi ever since I learnt about them during my graduate microbiology course. I once took a small tour to photograph the various fungi present on our campus grounds, without identifying them. I would appreciate it if you could share a book or some resource on practical mycology (diversity, application etc.).

    Incredible story ,so much inspiration and hope here that a man's passion and curiosity mixed with amazing talent to film ,connect with native indigenous wisdom can bring many undiscovered species to the light for us to study and appreciate.Ive been photographing fungi for over 20 years it began when my daughter Jayde (WHO NOW IS IN HER FINAL STUDIES OF A BACHELOR OF BIO SCIENCE) at a younge age believed in fairies and was fascinated by mushrooms in which they might dwell so we took photos pick to see if any fairies would be present in our photography.Ive since become a horticulturist and lately have a passion for understanding fungi and its relationship with plants,blown away with the intelligence of it all happening seemingly unnoticed to most ,yet such a vital link in the chain of life.
    Thanks for a brilliant and extremely educational look into fungi growing in its native enviroment capturing it BRILLIANTLY with your keen eye and lenses YET most of all the indigenous knowledge your able to share with us.
    I've always believed there is something very special indeed about these fungi we know so little about ,they are a key of Importance to us .

    Some of those mushrooms in India have relatives over here in Europe.
    I seemed to recognize a species of Lactarius and maybe also a species of Lepista, but can't be sure, since the documentary doesn't provide the scientific names for most of the mushrooms being presented.
    Definitely recognized the macrolepiota procera specimens, they're such a classic.

    What a wonderfully done expedition into the rarely visited sections of India. I hope it helps save virgin forests that are under threat in the last village you covered - the one where you found the mushrooms with the glowing stems. What a valuable document this is! Missing is any mention of possible members of Hymenogastraceae, the ones that bruise purple. Coverage of the crazy but utterly charming festival is really good as is the choice in sounds that accompany each segment. Five stars for sure!

    48.04 looks a bit like chantarells? Edit: btw fungi was one of the earliest lifeforms on our planet. There used to be giant "forests" befor ferns and other plants came along...I'm only an archaeologist, not biologist or even paleontologist so I hope I'm right. But I find them amazing. I believe they are, together with MUCH reduced animal keeping (in sustainable ways only/no factory farms) will be part of the solution to feeding our planet while maintaining wild habitats/species by reducing land use for (feed crops or various monoculture plants like palm oil) and that we can instead implement forest agriculture, regreen and revitalise dead soil/arid areas, permaculture etc and learn to live with our planet instead of trying to force our poorly ideas/pesticides etc onto it. I see what is happening around the world and it scares me because we have a beautiful nourishing environment but we constantly destroy it and ruin it with short term thinking and greed. This documentary was both beautiful, interesting and gave me hope and ideas. Thank you👏
