Fungi: Web of Life

There are millions of fungal species on Earth, but researchers think we have only described about 5% of them. British biologist Merlin Sheldrake guides us through this mysterious kingdom of fungi, unveiling some of its profound secrets. These incredible life forms have a lot to teach us, and they may even be the key to some of humanity’s global problems. We all know that penicillin has saved millions of lives, but few know how many other miraculous secrets the fungal world holds. (Academia Film Olomouc)
