All life on Earth is connected by a great mystery we are only just beginning to unravel. Hidden between the world of plants and animals, another world exists…Fungi the Web of Life.
Acclaimed biologist Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, author of the bestselling Entangled Life with the iconic Björk as the narrator, guides us through the groundbreaking discoveries of how fungi shape all life on Earth and how humans can partner with these extraordinary organisms to adapt to the radical challenges of our time.
Featuring jaw-dropping fungal time-lapse photography from the masters, Stephen Axford of Planet Fungi, Wim van Egmond and Patrick Healey. This footage reveals the transformative power of fungi, turning the microscopic world into towering, mesmerising visuals that bring their hidden realm to life in breathtaking detail.
It takes us beneath the surface of the forest floor, where fungi are the unsung heroes of Earth's ecosystems—masterminds of the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Without them, life as we know it wouldn't exist.
With millions more species to discover, our journey into the secret world of fungi has only just begun. Don't miss this captivating exploration into the forces that connect all life on Earth.
