Overview
Flora, Fauna, Funga follows Chilean mycologist and foundress of the Fungi Foundation, Giuliana Furci, as she searches for new mushrooms in far southern Chile on the main island of Tierra del Fuego. She is joined by biologist and author Merlin Sheldrake, as well as biologist Toby Kiers from the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks, whose goal is to map the mycorrhizal networks of the world. Together, the three scientists illuminate how fungi underpin every ecosystem on Earth and outline a strategy for greater fungal inclusion in conservation policy.
