Fantastic Fungi by Louie Schwartzberg

This documentary serves as a visual love letter to nature’s hidden intelligence, focusing on the vast fungal networks woven beneath our feet. Through stunning time-lapse cinematography, it reveals fungi not as mere decomposers, but as teachers, healers and essential connectors within the web of life. Mycelial networks are shown acting like nature’s neural pathways—exchanging resources, transmitting signals and nurturing entire ecosystems. Blending hard science with spiritual awe, the film invites viewers to see fungi not only as ecological powerhouses, but as models for how humanity might reconnect, regenerate and heal: both planet and psyche.
