"Louie Schwartzberg's lightly informative, delightfully kooky documentary, "Fantastic Fungi," offers nothing less than a model for planetary survival." -Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

"Gorgeous photography! Time-lapse sequences of mushrooms blossoming forth could pass for studies of exotic flowers growing on another planet." -Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
