Chilean mycologist Giuliana Furci is joined in her search for new mushrooms on Tierra del Fuego by biologist and author Merlin Sheldrake and mycologist Toby Kiers. They outline a strategy for greater fungal inclusion in conservation policy—fungi underpin every ecosystem on Earth through nutrient cycling and the essential relationships they form with plants.
Screening on Sunday, March 9 at 1pm in Short Film Block 5 along with On the 8th Day, The Snowy Owls of Logan Airport, and The Bird in My Backyard.
