Fungi: Web of Life
All
life on Earth is connected by a great mystery we are only just
beginning to unravel. Hidden between the world of plants and animals,
another world exists…Fungi: The Web of Life. We’ll begin in the
mysterious world of the forest floor, where fungi are the central
players in nature’s story of birth, death, and rebirth to discover that
life as we know it simply would not exist without them. Join acclaimed
British biologist, Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, on a quest to find an
incredibly precious blue mushroom, against the backdrop of Tasmania’s
ancient Tarkine rainforest. Merlin will show us some the grandest and
strangest organisms ever discovered, showcased through jaw-dropping
time-lapse cinematography, in a landscape largely unchanged from the
time of the dinosaurs. Fungi have important lessons to teach humanity
about survival through cooperation. Indeed, these incredible lifeforms
may hold the key to solving some of humanity’s most urgent problems.
With millions more species to discover, our journey into the secret
world of fungi has only just begun. |
