There are thousands of mushrooms, both large and microscopic, growing everywhere: in the dark, in the light, in the warmth and in the cold. They assume many bizarre forms including that of goblets, hats, stars and lanterns. "Wild side of Europe" conducted a journey through the world of these mysterious plants whose origin is still uncertain.
Mushrooms have adapted themselves to living entirely underground and this has created problems not easily solved. On the other hand, sowing seeds to indure their future is a common problem for all plants and each species has had to evolve its own particular strategy. This documentary is a fascinating description of the strategy that plants have elaborated to sow their seeds and assure their future. "Wild side of Europe" used sophisticated techniques to discover the secrets of a mysterious, fundamental chapter in the adventure of life on our planet.
