Description

When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world. Fantastic Fungi, directed by Louie Schwartzberg, is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.

  • No facts about mushrooms

    This is not mushrooms or fungi, it’s about the “spirituality” and love of mushrooms. Reused a lot of the same clips. I don’t recommended it.

    It started promising enough, but it quickly veering into unintellibale nonsense. Magic mushrooms seem promisiong, but there was nothing in this documentary to push their case other than a couple of non-scientific anecdotes. Mushrooms deserve more research and a better explanation than the fancy graphics shown.
  • Amazing!

    Excellent! Covers a lot of amazing truths and revelations. Far exceeded my expectations! I have a new interest, that I never knew existed now. Watch it! I rented it, then liked it so much I bought it, to view again and again

    Great image quality but not worth it. The last three quarters of the movie is only about magic mushrooms. It gets repetitive and boring like a high pressure salesman. I doubt the movie's intention had anything to do with teaching us about fungi. Would have been improved if they had given common or latin names to the fungi.

    Sometimes you feel like you are watching magic when you see the mushrooms grow with time laps photography. The people interviewed are knowledgeable and you can tell they believe in what they are saying. If you are even a little bit interested in fungi this movie is for you.

    Fantastic Fungi is remarkable! One of the better documentary movies I’ve seen in a while! Very inspiring, uplifting and brings hope for a brighter future 🙌🏼🌟🍄 The visuals were awe-inspiring! Paul Stamets should win a Nobel peace prize. His story is really moving! 🤯 Plus the information about fungi the planet and the relation to us and where we are is so interesting! I’d highly recommend watching it! 🥳 I always find it fascinating how religious people find themselves offended and/or uncomfortable. No matter what religion you may follow, don’t forget the planet was here long before a human(s) came up with rules to help people spiritually and language requires a label(s) (religious names). The true divine source is within every living thing and requires no religion. If you find that uncomfortable you are not in tune with source. No magical mushrooms are needed to connect with source, however for some it’s been one of the most transformative experiences. Society is programmed to be very comfortable with Alcohol. Majority of gatherings have it and it’s in so much marketing. Yet it’s way up there as far as destruction to one’s own life and lives around them. If your uncomfortable with other substances make sure it’s truly objective, based on data and not the programming you’ve received in your life from TV, marketing, government, society, family and culture. Life is beautiful and naturally demands respect. We should all better understand the intelligence of life. Just because a good percentage of humans are disconnected from this intelligence - don’t let that fool you into thinking Life isn’t intelligent. It’s incredibly intelligent and we have to better connect with it as a species or humans will seize to exist.

    I thought this was a documentary about mushrooms. As in a biological documentary about mushrooms. There is a lot of the same footage of sprouting mushrooms and mold used over and over and touchy feely spiritual hippie talk about how mushrooms make them feel and how they are their own entity. If you want to actually learn about mushrooms skip this. I wish I didn’t buy this. There’s even an earnest mushroom song at the end. An eye-roller. 🙄

    It was good and informative until it became a infomercial for his business. It also lacked details on edible and non edible mushrooms as It went down the rabbit hole leaving a lot of unanswered questions.

    This movie is a bunch of old hippies worshipping their god...magic mushrooms. That's all this is. I really don't get the glowing reviews. Couldn't finish it.
