Psychedelics, mind control, radiation-eating: The secret superpowers of fungi - Max G. Levy

Over deze video

Dig into the vast and wild world of fungi, and explore how these organisms evolved to play a range of essential ecological roles. -- The diverse fungal kingdom, which includes everything from baker’s yeast to edible mushrooms to foot infections, has long defied assumptions. Scientists estimate that somewhere between 2 and 12 million species of fungi remain undiscovered— either because they’re microscopic, live hidden within other species, or for other unknown reasons. Max G. Levy digs into the vast and wild world of fungi. Lesson by Max G. Levy, directed by Petya Zlateva, Compote Collective.
