Merlin Sheldrake on BBC Breakfast talking about the film Fungi: Web of Life, February 2nd, 2024

[@1050cc]

HE HAS ARRIVED, he is here amoung us and his name is... Merlin Sheldrake 🤗

[@RobinWest-t8q]

He’s a speaker at the Bioneers Conference, March 30, 2024 in Berkeley.

[@cocoakusubuu7100]

Giving fungi a voice. doing important work. Mush love.

[@tobytilsed5333]

Merlin and his Dad are both world class scientists and simultaneously have that rare quality of doing their own thing despite already being at the top of academia...not following the well trodden path in the ivory tower, but creating their own vision and taking the risks that come along with that. Definitely a special family.

[@SelfImageStylist]

Yes, they’re the fungi of the scientific community😊

[@misanthrophex]

A perfect individual for this. The voice, the manners, the temperament, the intelligence, even the body and face. Keep spreading awareness. Oh, almost forgot, the name is absolutely super awesome and makes it even better. Stay true to yourself, please.

[@sapelesteve]

Well done Merlin! Anyone that has not read Merlin's book "Entangled Life" should do so. Highly recommended! Looking forward to seeing the film. 👍👍🍄🍄

[@leeseany]

Merlin sheldrake… you’re a fun-guy Keep doing you’re amazing work and awareness in our world 🌍

[@ozychk21]

Merlin is great but do the interviewers have to appear to be so ignorant…. Crikey .

[@RSkyCar]

Looking forward to watching the film and continuing to follow your tremendous work, Merlin!!!

[@MrLuisthecat]

Merlin! Que bien te ves! Congratulations on your new film -- the preview looks amazing and I cannot wait to see it! As always, your description of anything fungi-related is utterly enthralling. Saludos desde Colombia !

[@hiitsmoto]

Thank you for your hard work, Merlin! Listened to the audiobook Entangled Life years ago, still love it!

[@ENDESGA]

So deeply excited to watch the film in IMAX! Love from NZ 🙏

[@janieromer2907]

Brilliant. Thanks Merlin 🍄❤️

[@thearchitecturegirl]

Will this be showing in the UK? This film is as mysterious as the fungi - is it an experiment in fungi-like marketing where it’s spreading secretly and organically?? I’m imagining it’s not really myceliuming through little indie cinemas if it’s meant to be shown on an iMax though. I really want to see it!

[@Chrysalisbodyart]

I’ve just watched it at the BFI imax in Waterloo. 😊

[@theresamcghee8362]

sorry they didn't summarise and say .. is there a film and book release now ? I watched you in a governmental research meeting recently having a lifelong love of mushrooms. So much to discover :) Thank you for you research and promotion. :) TC

[@sistermoon6506]

I saw it here in Victoria, BC in November. Spectacular!

[@jb-qi8fz]

Congrats to Rupert for having such a fine son. !!! Great job , as with everything you do Rupert !!!

[@TerriblePerfection]

To Rupert but not Jill? 😂

[@ilegor365]

Mushrooms "we are the wisdom of a billion years." And humans think they are the smartest most evolved life form on this planet 😅.

[@gibsons7057]

Nice one!!! The fugified book beat revealed the fungi turned the book into a capacitor, holding and releasing electrons in rhythmic pulses.... Crazy weird... 😎

[@mattblack6736]

bjork definitely loves her shrooms 🤪

[@luminousfractal420]

incredibly boring individual..and i dont mind a bit of fungi info. im fairly sure its top of the food chain. always was.

[@fuccasound3897]

They certainly do break down wood, i had to have every skirting board and door frame in my house replaced, fungi is a costly pain in the arse, not so wonderful when it tries to destroy a 200 year old cottage and it stinks.

[@Rareos]

you should hear what the trees had to say about your cottage.

[@jdjones4825]

​@@Rareos ouch

[@Rareos]

@@jdjones4825 😆

[@insider_english1594]

what's the difference between fungi and fun-guy? ... U ! 😂🎉

[@evzevz06]

I'm not sold on the narration Ill stick to the film Fantastic Fungi

[@johnbradshaw5097]

Four lines from the end of ‘A Scapeshifter’ his Dad was 21. He also gave a good talk at his Dads 80th party on the 8th July 2022. An interesting family, and his book is definitely worth reading.

[@isidoravogel1767]

Where can we see this film?? In cinemas or where?

[@jaeslow6347]

I instantly made a whole made up lore about this guys life and how he wanted to be a real life wizard who made potions and it naturally led to a field in mushrooms ... pun intended.

[@Varg580]

As a child of the forest, i find this so interesting haha

[@prophetsoflondon2082]

This guy is a treasure

[@mrscpc1918]

This makes it clear why I don’t watch day time tv. Love Merlin and his Dad and their work but not a fan of such mental “downsizing “ as this.

[@FondueBrothers]

Some missed oppertunities in this interview.

[@keithpp1]

Stunning cinetography.

[@missseeingthesights]

You are a joy to listen to Merlin ❤

[@iansmith7871]

Love this.

[@FatherRayCharles]

Fungus sings the Blues

[@petkndy]

[@mouflon7538]

Fantastic, looking forward to watching

[@mandyshanks2327]

We need ant life next.

[@Athena621]

What a combination, Merlin and Bjoerk 💚💚💚 She was also a friend of the lovely, amazing Oliver Sacks.

[@FairleySneddz]

Someones let the mushroom guy in the back door at the bbc 🍄 never thought I'd see the day lol 😆

[@zedooncadhz]

Is that who I think it is? "It's like a city, like a little city. Don't listen to Icelandic shamans"

[@jobzagudn]

amazing !

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Didn’t know yeast was fungi .

[@davidsmith-iq7lo]

Merlin should have narrated the film

[@cdean2789]

I've had amazing trips.

[@karthikgautham1574]

Congrats merlin❤

[@jb-qi8fz]

Very well spoken and pleasant to listen to. Here in the U.S. we call that "a chip off the old block".

[@noelmcauliffe]

[@JuicyHumanoid]

I would watch it despite Björk!
