Fungi

We usually only notice the fruit of fungi (aka mushrooms) when they're on our plate, preferably sautéed with a little butter. But fungi insidiously occupy every corner of the garden, and the mushrooms we see are only the tip of the iceberg. Underneath these tiny fruiting bodies lies a massive interwoven network of fibers that extends for miles in the soil. Your garden, and indeed the whole planet, is virtually overrun with mushrooms and yet we know very little about the intimate connection between fungi and many of our favorite plants and trees. In this episode we explore the magic world of mushrooms through striking time-lapse photography that shows mushrooms growing and blooming as beautifully as any flower right before our eyes.
