The Rotten World About Us
'Killer toadstool strikes again ' The mould that halted the Navy , 'A beast in the bagpipes '- such bizarre fungi are news Yet their mysterious world is vital to life on our planet - not only the mushrooms that garnish our meals, but blights, rots and cankers that spring alarmingly to view, irritating and poisoning us, and even eating our flesh. For fungi can also cure our ills and delight us with their weird beauty or their flavours in cheeses and their alcohol in beer. Narrated and produced by BARRY PAINE
