Know your Mushrooms
In Know your Mushrooms Ron Mann investigates the miraculous, near-secret world of fungi. Visionaries Gary Lincoff and Larry Evans lead us on a hunt for the wild mushroom and the deeper cultural experiences attached to the mysterious fungi.
The oldest and largest living organisms recorded on Earth are both fungi. And their use by a new, maverick breed of scientists and thinkers has proven vital in the cleansing of sites despoiled by toxins and as a “clean” pesticide, among many other environmentally friendly applications.
Combining material filmed at the Telluride Mushroom Fest with animation and archival footage, along with a neo-psychedelic soundtrack by The Flaming Lips, this film opens the doors to perception, taking the audience on an extraordinary trip. Available only in US.
Was trying to figure out the name of doc this scene was from. What a coincidence ?

thank you Capricious
This is pretty impressive stuff guys. Well done.
Never left a coment before but this was a good see.
Enjoy.
Excellent documentary. I go mushroom picking in the UK - it,s a great hobby. To make it your life ..I,m jealous!!
this documentary was outstanding. i love the dry humor and the bond these people have with their field of study/interest. reminds me of my professors back in college, they really made you WANT to learn. great job guys!
I learned everything I need to know about mushrooms from the SAS Survival Handbook...oh and my teen years...
i think i saw the sasquatch at around 39:45, if u look closely u can see briefly throught the branches behind the guy... or maby it was hallucinations Oo .......
why did the mushroom get invited to the party?
cause he's a fun-gi
what is the first clip in the beginning? the silent one with the umbrella that turns to a mushie.
At 53.40 min, what is the name of the fungi? How do you spell that?
this docu ended too soon. Please tell me more!! very entertaining
I red that alder tree can actually be a single organism of many trees separated in surface but mutual root system down below. Even if the world's largest fungi would be bigger in terms of size, that gotta be the heaviest.
i am a mushroom, eat me....
at like 40 min this guy has a crazy story about eating shrooms. unless he was eating something like amanita witch dosn't sound like that kind of tirp. is full of it. This is why so many people think Psilocybin or magic shrooms are to scary to try. the guy did not see anyone change into a wolf fly through space lol. it's more like changes in ur thoughts ur nerons make connections that it would not normaly make. as in u can see a red car u should hit nerons for red color the word car how to drive ect... but with magic mushrooms it could hit a different neron making like the wrong color or brighter or anything can pop in ur mind thats why u laugh. same with senses like distance walls can seem to move in and out. on high doses iv seen things look crazy but to be so hight off of Psilocybin that the stuff he said is happening u would be mixing signals in ur brain so much u could verly remember it and time would be untrackable.
So to get visual like seeing god can happen or seeing people changeing into things u need peyote, lots of dxm, pcp or even dramamine.
but guy is full of it never he ate any magic mushrooms i would bet
The worlds largest living organism isnt a mushroom folks. Its THE GREAT BARRIER REEF!!!!
Interesting, but as stated before a bit more on identification would be more interesting. More like a movie than documentary, but it looked like a blast out there in Telluride. Dose any one know of any festivals like this in the finger lake area of NY.
Would somebody give this guy a mushroom so he'll shut up! My god I have never seen anyone so obsessed with mushrooms. "Why is there only 20 pages in a biology textbook about mushtooms"? Ill tell you why, its because there is more in life than just mushrooms! These people are pretty much crazy. And I still dont know which mushrooms are good to eat and which ones will kill you, although apparently if you buy any mushrooms from the store, you will get cancer...
One of my favorite docs, I can watch it over and over.
Mr. Razor: Had I had a religious epiphany while eating at an Asian restaurant, then perhaps that theory would hold water --- mushrooms a plenty everywhere here!
But, I had this much religious conviction when I was sixteen also, and still U.S.A. fettered!
I'm hoping my kids will also. My son asks me to pray for him every time he gets a booboo. What's really funny is when he prays for his sister after CAUSING the trauma that made her cry! I try not to laugh. :-)
God I miss Glastonbury....roll on next year
Oh sorry....What did I think of the Documentary? it was magnificent in a fungi sort of way...but did I get a buzz?........hardly!
(yes Razor Im stalking you like a ninja!)
errr music ? well 'The Sadies' were deffo in there somewhere (know HOW would I know that I wonder??) and I think the title track was by 'The Flaming Lips' - I need to check, but I will
