Mutiny of fungi
What if true resistance comes from somewhere, you least expect it? What if it comes from mushrooms? In this film, mushrooms and their numerous collaborators invite us to imagine another kind of world revolution. Could they use their mycelium networking skills to heal the world and meet the challenges of climate change?
The Mushroom Speaks explores the healing qualities of fungi and their ability to regenerate. This personal journey takes you on a walk alongside parasites, symbionts and decomposers offering ideas of both interconnectedness and collaboration. Driven by a vision of resistance, the encounters seek possibilities of renewal and question what connects us when the world seems to be falling apart. With mushrooms and their allies, the film invites to imagine a myco cultural (r)evolution. What if the fungus could help us address and radically change our relationship to this world?
