I’m on my fourth watch of this masterpiece. The passion and dedication to something most people couldn’t care less about, is honestly breathtaking. If only the rest of the world had just a fraction of the appreciation for nature demonstrated here, the world would be a markedly better place.

People are so eager to see an alien world that they dont even see the alien world right under their feet

"The forest were starting to make sense, it wasn't just a bunch of trees" This made me chuckle. What an amazing documentary!
-
The purple mushroom blew me away…exquisite. I’ve always loved the sculptural fungi that look like abstract art. Nature is truly the greatest artist.

Once in a while, the youtube algorithm impresses me with something of true quality.

When I was around 5th grade, I would spend a lot of my free time downloading images and gifs of mushrooms onto my school computer because I thought they were so cool. I recognized a lot of them in this video; I had no idea how much one person's work impacted my obsession with mushrooms! I want to become a mycologist someday and also help local communities. What you do sounds so amazing.

Whoever chose the soundtrack has obviously also had their mind changed by fungi

To listen to someone who has found their passion is bliss

"Life on this planet is more interconnected than I ever could have imagined" - I'm awestruck by your pictures! Thank you Stephen!

I am literally gobsmacked, lost for words. I’m Australian to and have never seen, or thought to look for anything like these beautiful works of art. You have given me a whole new view of the world too. Thank you, another incredibly important reason we need to protect our forests and woodlands. What secrets are these gorgeous things keeping for us.

the YouTube algorithm decided I should spend a half an hour of my time learning about a guy who photographs mushrooms. I am not disappointed.

This man loves mushrooms so much that he stands unaffected in a cloud of bugs. Impressive.
-
This man is not only a photographer but also a wonderful teacher! I wanted to watch only a few minutes. But it was so fascinating that I didn't want the documentary to end. I would like to learn more !
-
I love the calm, slow speaking. The longer shots and just stills of the fungi. That's enough. Rare nowadays.
-
props to him for doing this entire talk while being swarmed by mosquitoes.
-
I appreciate his clear paced speech and that there is no loud competing music like discovery channel productions.
-
I love when people can talk about something with so much passion that it makes me passionate too. What a man!

Those photos of fungi are some of the most beautiful natural images I've ever seen. Thank you, for sharing your passion with us here on YT, sir. May God bless you & your countrymen thru the hardships you are all now experiencing. Love from Texas, USA!!!
