Itinerary:

I found a perfect film outing for the Toronto Outdoor Club. We'll be checking out the new documentary 'Know Your Mushrooms'.

From the award-winning director of COMIC BOOK CONFIDENTIAL, GRASS, GO FURTHER and a host of paradigm-shifting films reappraising the backwaters of popular culture, Ron Mann investigates the miraculous, near-secret world of fungi with his newest piece of cinema, KNOW YOUR MUSHROOMS.

KNOW YOUR MUSHROOMS follows uber myco visionaries Gary Lincoff and Larry Evans (two of the more expert and unforgettably mercurial characters in the community) as they lead us on a hunt for the wild mushroom and the deeper cultural experiences attached to the mysterious fungi.

Combining material filmed at the Telluride Mushroom Fest with animation and archival footage along with a neo-psychedelic soundtrack by the Flaming Lips, KNOW YOUR MUSHROOMS opens the doors to perception, takes the audience on a longer, stranger trip and delivers them to a brave new world where the fungi might well guide humanity to a saner, safer place 'with extra cheese'.

CONSUMER WARNING: Don't Go Into The Forest Without This Movie!

Check in with me @ the cinema lobby. Look for me holding a TOC sign. I'll be there from 6:30PM onwards. Movie starts at 7PM.
