Yes, I watched the movie either on prime or Comcast. It is light hearted and informative. It touches on how possibly magical mushrooms helped in the human evolution. Talked about Mycelium and how trees talk to each other. Interviewed Paul Stamets, the creator of Host Defense supplements.
He spoke about using mycelium for cleaning up oil spills in the ocean or for biological pest control. Plus mushrooms for immune boosting and cancer.
I enjoyed the movie.
