    Hi Dennie,

    It would be fun to do more of these, maybe stinging nettle next. I actually made this video for a series of mushroom themed events I organized at an art gallery in Los Angeles.

    the only reason I joined Vimeo was so I could comment on this. it's brilliant, although I can't put my finger on why. the script is hilarious, the personification of the mushroom just seems perfect somehow, and the TIMING--well, the timing is razor-sharp.

    I will gladly watch Jan read the phone book and of course have you film it. Another great show! Almost makes me want to start eating mushrooms. Almost:)

    This is a beautiful example of budgetless (no waste) filmmaking – poetic, humorous, philosophical and essential.

    ...and thus filmmaking contiguous with mycelial networks.
