Fantastic Fungi (2019) trades rigorous mycological science for pseudo-philosophical narration and romanticized biology. From using Brie Larson's voiceover to invent a fictional state of “fungus denial,” to passing off slime molds as mycelium, the film prioritizes aesthetic sensationalism over taxonomic integrity.
