Science is increasingly recognizing how important mushrooms are for the development of human society and solving the Earth's ecological problems. The world's best-known mycologist, Paul Stamets, has brought together a star ensemble of mycologists, ecologists, doctors, researchers and artists to shed light on the role of mushrooms, their special way of life and their mysterious powers.

Fungi have the ability to restore our ecosystem, for example in dealing with oil spills or the death of bees. They can be used medically for everything from cancer to post-traumatic stress disorder.
They can rekindle our symbiotic relationship with nature and change human consciousness in the process.
