Description

**This Sunday, December 1 screening is sold-out. No rush tickets will be available.**

Hailed for its healing properties, and appearing in everything from superdrinks to beauty products, mushrooms are having a major moment. That’s not all: this remarkable organism may even contain the secret to saving life as we know it on Earth. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Brie Larson and captured with state-of-the-art time lapse cinematography, Fantastic Fungi takes you on an immersive journey into a magical kingdom beneath our feet where a complex and ancient network of mycelium hold eye-opening solutions to our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges. Featuring interviews with best-selling author Michael Pollan, renowned scientists Paul Stamets, Eugenia Bone and more.

On December 1, join director Louie Schwartzberg and special guests Thomas Anderson (University of Toronto) and Tosca Teran (Mushroom Toronto) for an insightful post-screening discussion on the mushroom boom, and their many health benefits.
