Mushrooms could be man's best allies in the struggle against sanitary and environmental challenges that threaten our societies. A select group of species, known as Super Fungi, are incredibly effective at tasks ranging from digesting oil waste to enabling the growth of trees in the desert. We are just becoming acquainted with one of Earth's most versatile and powerful organisms, the lowly fungus.

Great media presentation with experts giving great overviews of experiments, uses, & discoveries!

This is a great overview of the some of the world's most significant scientific experiments and successes in Mycology with several leading experts of the field. Super Fungi shows many unexpected ways humans and their environment continue to benefit from the information fungi has given us upon observation and experimentation, in totally unrelated fields of study one wouldn't automatically expect. Yet the film still leaves much of the mystery to be discovered as we continue experimenting with fungi into the future --in which it seems perhaps any problem could be solved by a certain strain of mycelium!
Every human would get something inspirational out of watching this short documentary.

What a wonderful video. Who knew that the lowly multicolored film blanketing the top of the forgotten container of tomato sauce lost in the back of the refrigerator was a member of such an interesting class of creatures? Neither animal nor plant, fungi live in a world of their own making. They can and do enrich life on this planet in amazing ways. I learned a lot, and I'm excited to hear about some of the research ongoing that can lessen our dependence of fossil fuels or chemical fertilizers. Well done. I love the Xive documentaries a great deal. Some of the best I've seen!

tedious and propagandizing

This dragged quite a bit for some reason. A lot of things were over-explained as though the audience was expected to be slow-witted children. And there was too much blather about how fungi were going to help humanity solve many of it's pollution and complexity problems. I felt I was being propagandized to embrace a rosy future for mankind. One example is the Great Green Wall project in north Africa, which according to Wikipedia is still only a pipe dream.

I just wanted to learn about the natural world as it exists independently of mankind. And the narrator, Nicholas Mead, sounded too much like John 'Johnny Rotten' Lydon. He also had peculiar and distracting pronunciations of words such as 'epitome', 'volcanic', 'molecular' and 'distributing'. Perhaps English is not his first language?

A fungus among us.

Excellent documentary. It is truly gratifying to think that the earth might already produce the very solutions to the problems that man grapples with and that they need only be brought to light. To think that Penicillin which has helped so many comes from melon fungus. I hope man is smart enough to pursue this avenue of potential solutions

I wish science was taught this way when I went to high school in the 80's. Please make more documentaries like these! Very intriguing. Extremely interesting. I'm getting high on information!

a seemingly simple organism with the extraordinary ability to survive in, and even transform, contaminated environments. the film's production delivers a very professional and enjoyable experience.
