    Fungi a mysterious world in front of your eyes
    Before this documentary, I wasn't aware of just how important and useful fungi are, when I heard the word "fungi" ... I imagined saprophyte fungi, discomposing something or fungus in the wall, but they also maintain the entire ecosystem! Eliminating harmful components and creating an oasis. They're related to all aspects of life, they made life possible, at the beginning they help us surviving, at the end they use us to allow other organisms to thrive.

    It's just wonderful... I recommend it to you, and I'll rate it 8.5********
