Ron Mann’s new documentary Know Your Mushrooms is a real trip – and not just for the reason you’re thinking. Shot at the Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado, the film explores the, er, recreational uses of fungi along with their medicinal and culinary prowess. You’ll also collect concrete foraging tips watching master mycologists Gary Lincoff and Larry Evans on the hunt.
Webster University will be screening Know Your Mushrooms tonight at 9 p.m. and again on Sunday at 8 p.m. Find more information at www.webster.edu/filmseries.
