Description

Fungus is definitely among us. They live within our bodies, grow beneath our feet and sometimes on them, float in the air we breathe, and help create many of the foods and beverages we consume. We follow professional remediators as they battle millions of growing invaders, all within the walls of mold-infested homes. We see how Phillips Mushroom Farms, America's largest producer of specialty mushrooms, carefully grows over 35 million pounds of various colorful fungi every year. We'll get high with magic mushrooms, get sick with deadly mushrooms, and get well with penicillin: all fungi. We visit scientists, looking for ways to use fungi to fuel our car and clean up hazardous waste. Yes, the lowly fungi may be the salvation of mankind.
