Sadly, the title is misleading. "Know Your Mushrooms

Sadly, the title is misleading. "Know Your Mushrooms" is what the makers of the film want you do... it's not the subject. There is almost no material about identifying fungi, instead it's a puff-piece about the importance of mushrooms, even claiming that they are the basis of religion and that Jesus was a mushroom. All of the groundwork leads to a diatribe that seems meant to entice the viewer into trying "Magic" mushrooms. If you want some fairly interesting random facts, it's OK... If you want some talking points to justify drug use, it's pretty good... If you want to learn mushrooms, it's worthless.

Mushrooms can be fun and delicious

I had been hoping this would be more than a primer - it didn't rise above the entry level, but that is OK because I think it was intended for newbies, not aficionados.

All the same, kind of fun and innocuous, unless seeing folks ingesting psylocybin is a turn-off. The factoid shroom was amusing, even if it did resemble low-key PBS early morning children's viewing stylings.

I would highly recommend a follow-up attempt as mycophobia in America is endemic. Go for more identification of edible species, highlight more of the "eat these and die a terribly horrible death" shrooms, include a section exclusively for the psychoactive shroom examples (c'mon, they mentioned amanita muscaria without sharing about the various types of amanitas in the wild nor did they clearly state - PROCEED WITH CAUTION WHEN EATING THIS VARIETY).

A good attempt that generally informs and entertains and they surely left plenty of room for others to do it even better - where are you Discovery Channel?
