00:00This might look like individual fungi, but their mycelium communicates with each other.

00:05If a fungus needs help, the network knows and transfers sugars, water, and minerals to a friend in need.

00:14You think you're looking at a different fungus, but what you're seeing is a single intelligence.

00:19Because what does fungi do? It adapts.

00:23We poison the planet, so how do they respond?

00:26They only get stronger.

00:29The blue angel mushroom, rumored, never found, could have massive potential.

00:35Effects on humans 100 times more effective than stem cell therapy, than anything we've ever seen.

00:43Boy, Hilde's not exactly on the grid, but this should be the spot.

00:50Knock, knock, knock.

00:56Well, look who's here.

00:59Hilde! Nice, um, uh, home.

01:02Yes, very, thank you.

01:04Is it okay if I come in?

01:06Anyone with you?

01:08Uh, I have a tortoise.

01:15Would your tortoise like some tea?

01:17Uh, I don't think so.

01:19Okay.

01:20Um, are you still teaching?

01:22The occasional seeker comes by.

01:25People who aren't afraid of real science.

01:28Oh, shit, see, it wasn't too bad.

01:30You should have stuck with fungi, Marshall.

01:33Well, that's kind of why I'm here, Hilde.

01:36I found it.

01:38You found what?

01:39The mushroom.

01:41The mushroom? The blue angel? Ha, doesn't exist.

01:46Oh, I found it. It exists. I even took it. It saved my life.

01:50Found it? Found it where?

01:53Uh, in Peru. A valley. I followed a river up into the...

01:56I spent 15 years in Peru. It's not in Peru.

02:00Well, I found it, Hilde. You have to trust me.

02:04And the problem is, upriver from where the mushroom grows,

02:07Riutical has this horrible industrial waste site that's poisoning everything.

02:14I don't know how much longer they can survive.

02:18Of course. Of course. It adapted. It evolved.

02:24What?

02:25The runoff. It fed it.

02:27Fed it? No.

02:29Chernobyl. Remember Chernobyl? The melanized fungi?

02:33Uh, yeah.

02:35The radiation altered the structure of the melanin molecules.

02:38The fungi weren't growing in spite of the radiation.

02:40They were changing and growing because of it.

02:45Oh, my God. How did I miss that?

02:48Oh, my God. It's feeding on the runoff, Hilde.

02:55Did you bring it here?

02:57What?

02:58Did you bring it here? Let me see it.

03:00Well, okay. I was hoping that, you know, the two of us, maybe with your help,

03:04we could find a way to grow it.

03:07So you do have it. You brought it here.

03:10Show it to me. Show it to me.

03:12Hilde, you're kind of scaring me a little. Have you been taking your medication?

03:17Meds? They should be taking my meds.

03:20Maybe this...

03:21Show it to me. Show it to me.

03:23I want to see it work.

03:24Hilde.

03:30Hilde, whoa, whoa.

03:32I want to see it work.

03:36I want to see it work.
