Know Your Mushrooms (2008) Synopsis

In 2007, people arrive in Telluride for the annual mushroom festival. Over four days, we attend lectures, join foragers, visit displays, and watch cooks. Our guides are Larry Adams and Gary Lincoff. On day one, local mushrooms are on display, Lincoff lectures on earth's fungal network and explains public fears of wild mushrooms; Adams cooks and shows movies of the Amazon and Alaska. On day two, Adams forages and teaches; a truffle pig finds black gold; a lecturer discusses magic mushrooms. Day three: the health effects of fungi and their role in other cultures; oyster mushrooms clean up oils pills. Day four is a parade. Then, the mushroom gypsies follow the rain to their next stop.—
