Fantastic Fungi, Official Film Trailer | Moving Art by Louie Schwartzberg

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.

I saw this on Netflix really such an eye opener I am Clinician trained in Western Medicine. We’re always discouraged to discuss alternative Medicine. I started my own research after I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease. I couldn’t find any cure in my Medical books and thats when I returned back to my Eastern roots and find healing in Spirituality. My mom is a Sufi Muslim and She taught me so much. I was completely off my meds. Don’t give up the cure is out there, sometimes we get lost in material World so much that we lose our spiritual self, the self that has a power to heal and love . Love you all, stay blessed. Lovely Documentary.

[@fantasticfungiofficial]

Thank for sharing your story, and for the compliments.

I am from Yunnan Province, China, which has 36% of the world's edible mushroom species and provides over 70% of the wild edible mushrooms in China. The love of wild mushrooms is in our bones and I am very impressed that there is a film that introduces the wonders and charms of wild mushrooms.

[@jessicap2144]

Mushrooms will change the world if people can realize how helpfully they would be to our society, humanity and ourselves. Psilocybin has changed my life for the better in so many ways. Excited for the future!! 💜

[@jessicap2144]

@Umberto Staccioli nature is medicine! They show it being used in therapy and supervised. I would do more research. I agree it isn't for everyone but feel if you were meant to ever experience it in life, it will find it's way to you.

[@lewisgreenhalgh7546]

@Umberto Staccioli Okay Mussolini.

[@davejones9469]

For several years I took an annual camping trip way out to the middle of nowhere (with friends for safety) and used mushrooms. I haven't gone in years and I feel like I'm going insane, it was truly therapeutic. Though, doing them in nature and far from help can be risky, so bring friends and do it in a rotation or seperate groups so nobody rows themselves into the middle of a lake... It was such a special experience, with each time being different. One time I went for a long hike, another I just sat by the water and watched the ripples spread across the placid water, etc. It's a special place to me and I want to be scattered there someday, all thanks to shrooms.

[@AuroraClair]

@Jessica P could you explain maybe why it's not for everyone - could it affect someone in a really negative way? Or if you know how to explain who it could be for and who should avoid trying? I'm reading everywhere only that it isn't for everyone, but how does someone know if it is for them or not? When you say psilocybin has made a difference for you, are you refering to microdosing? Thanks

[@loxgaming6867]

How?! I used mushrooms for a whole year and I am so reliefed I stopped..... I am too scared to even think about them I am confused what did I do wrong

[@dustinjevne9831]

I live in SW France, in a small village, lost in the forest. A few months ago, I curated an exhibit on mushroom illustrations and hosted a viewing of this film. The audience loved it. Yesterday, I ran in to someone who had been at the event. He told me that the film had changed his life -for the better of course. Just wanted to say thanks for helping to bring the importance of mushrooms to our little corner of the world.

[@cleangoblin2021]

At the age of 13, i underwent spinal surgery that led me with some disabilities i thought i could never live by. I tried schooling, some work around 24 and ultimately being an alcoholic for the rest of my life. I was left with incontinence, erectile dysnfuction and premature ejaculation + plus generally bad childhood and an abusive stepdad. For years ive suffered internally and of course the given, depression, anxiety, ocd and such. I really thought at 30 id never heal. Sometimes i can find some fake motivation and will ultimately lead to the deeper throes of depression but not until shrooms came to my life. All the fears and repressed feelings was given face. All i had to do was submit myself to the journey or trip without snapping out of it. I woke up after that trip like a newborn. I've never felt so amazing in my life before. Somehow or someway, these magical fungis will find you in time of need.

the same will be said for the ecosystems inside us!!

Biology and environmental science classes really struggle to explain much of anything without this film. It's like a fundamental scientific framework, full of principles, systems, and more, that explains life on Earth in much better detail than almost anything else I've ever seen.

“And our World is fantastic.” Truth to be told. I couldn't help my tears falling for some reasons when I watched this video. Just beautiful. I do hope that NETFLIX Japan will carry this film ASAP because this is something everyone needs to watch. “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.

I have never been so excited to see anything as I am to see this movie. Paul's lectures on youtube and info on his websites has improved so many aspects of my life. As I sit drinking my turkey tail tea I foraged myself after watching Paul's videos giving me the courage to try something new and wonderful. He is the most inspirational, motivational and hyper intelligent organism I have learned about. Today I learned his products are being sold at my local coop produce store. I talked for 30 minutes with the wellness advisor about how wonderful it is to have the products available he has created. The fungi knowledge I have gained from him has increased my awareness of gardening, mycology, relationships, personal health, so much more. He has touch my life in such a positive way. Words can't explain how thankful I am. The world would be a better place if everyone watched Paul's interview with Joe Rogan.
