Fantastic Fungi (2019) trades rigorous mycological science for pseudo-philosophical narration and romanticized biology. From using Brie Larson's voiceover to invent a fictional state of “fungus denial,” to passing off slime molds as mycelium, the film prioritizes aesthetic sensationalism over taxonomic integrity.

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen.
#fungifact Leotia lubrica, das gemeine Gallertkäppchen gehört zu den Schlauchpilzen. Giftig wenn roh verzehrt, kein Speisepilz.

#fungifact 🍄📷 Der warzige Drüsling ist ein Gallertpilz und formt z.T auffällige, schwarze Fruchtkörper mit gummibärchenartiger Konsistenz. Er wird auch Hexenbutter genannt. Die Geschichte besagt, dass Hexen in der Nacht Butter hergedtelltvund anschließend auf Äste geschmiert haben. Ungenießbar.
