Mushroom Man - The Search for Agarikon by Bill Weaver

Bill Weaver (www.acrossborders.com) features mycologist Paul Stamets' quest for protecting the genome of Agarikon, Fomitopsis officinalis. Searching the old growth forests for this rare wood conk, he hopes to culture as many strains of this species as possible to protect Agarikon from extinction.

An expedition in 2008 up Desolation Sound, British Columbia, Canada is documented.

Short film created by Bill Weaver.
