World famous fungi hunters invite audiences on a unique expedition into the wilderness of Australia, where the symbiotic dance between fungi, plants and animals, unlocks nature’s greatest secrets.
We document fungi because humans are only just starting to understand how important fungi are to life on our planet and how critical they are in protecting us from the impacts of climate change. We realise now that without fungi, the world as we know it would not exist – forests would not exist, and we would not exist. Now the push is on to document as many species as possible, as fast as possible. Raising awareness about fungi is critical to achieving that goal.
Made by Northern Rivers locals. In one of the wettest years Australia has ever seen, world famous fungi hunters Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak, follow in the path of the rain.
Includes a segment with Local bush scientist: Donovan Teal. One of the presenters at two of our previous World Environment Day Festivals.
