A vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit— the mushroom. A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi makes the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet, like an underground Internet. Through the eyes of renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, professor of forest ecology Suzanne Simard, best selling author Michael Pollan, food naturalist Eugenia Bone and others, we experience the power, beauty and complexity of the fungi kingdom.

"Take a magical mushroom mystery tour into the micro-verse & the micro-molecular matrix of mycelium! 🍄 I found this #documentary on Prime Video after reading ‘Entangled Life’ & it’s sporgasmic 😜 It’s amazing what we already know & still DON’T know yet about #mushrooms and #fungi — Watch & learn about the Wood Wide Web. You’ll be glad you did ☺️"

"This was an incredibly interesting documentary which provided a glance into mycology and the importance of mushrooms to daily life as well as the health of a forest. It also covered the experience of being a mycologist, from lab work to field work. "
