Review of Fantastic Fungi

I enjoyed this documentary. It was perhaps more entertaining than informative in certain parts of the film. I do wish they had provided more scientific information. There were a lot of theories and ideas I was ready to get behind if given the proof and thinking behind it, but then it would just kind of drop off and move to something else. I wish less time would have been spent on the one man who we follow and more time on his actual research and findings. There was one discovery he made that he explained and that was fascinating. But other aspects of his personal experiences such as tripping on mushrooms for the first time could have been reduced or cut.

The time lapses we're really beautiful throughout, I loved seeing the different species bloom to live or break down decaying wildlife and food. That was all really incredible to see. I truly believe in the overarching message of this, which is that fungi have the ability to regulate and control just about everything. They're an amazing part of nature, and all nature deserves to be respected.
