Beginner\u2019s guide to the wrap-your-brain-around-them facts of mycological science boosts the wonder with 3D time-lapse photography<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got \u201cface of fungi\u201d biologist Merlin Sheldrake\u2019s global bestseller Entangled Life<\/a> on your bookshelf, unbattered and spine uncracked, this documentary might feel like an easier option.

The vast underground networks of fungi that provide trees with nutrients \u2013 the \u201cwood wide web\u201d \u2013 are dazzlingly visualised here. Fungus is a miracle worker too: giving us life-saving medicines and decomposing organic matter. (Without fungi, forests would be tree-deep in animal carcasses.)<\/p>\n
