Fungi: Web of Life LiveEmbark on a fascinating two-part journey into the hidden world of fungi with renowned biologist, writer and speaker Merlin Sheldrake.
Merlin has spent his life uncovering the profound ways fungi connect organisms; without fungi, the living world as we know it would not exist.
The first half of this event will feature a rare screening of the award-winning IMAX film 'Fungi: The Web of Life'. Narrated by the iconic composer and singer Björk, this visually stunning film takes you on an exploration of fungi's profound impact on our world. From the ancient Tarkine rainforest, to the farthest reaches of the Earth's ecosystems, Merlin will show us some of the grandest and strangest organisms ever discovered, showcased through jaw-dropping time-lapse cinematography.
Following the film, Merlin will guide us deeper into the incredible connections and revelations revealed in the movie. Drawing on his extensive research and his award-winning book 'Entangled Life', he will share insights into how fungi shape our understanding of ecology and are essential to life itself. From the decomposition of organic matter and the formation of symbiotic relationships with plants, to how they can change our minds, heal our bodies and even help us avoid environmental disaster.
With the chance to ask Merlin your own questions, prepare to have your perception of life on Earth transformed as light is shed on the intricate, often overlooked world of fungi.
