Professor Richard Fortey delves into the fascinating and normally-hidden kingdom of fungi. From their spectacular birth, through their secretive underground life to their final explosive death, Richard reveals a remarkable world that few of us understand or even realise exists - yet all life on Earth depends on it. 　　In a specially-built mushroom lab, with the help of mycologist Dr Patrick Hickey and some state-of-the-art technology, Richard brings to life the secret world of mushrooms as never seen before and reveals the spectacular abilities of fungi to break down waste and sustain new plant life, keeping our planet alive. 　　Beyond the lab, Richard travels across Britain and beyond to show us the biggest, fastest and most deadly organisms on the planet - all of them fungi. He reveals their almost magical powers that have world-changing potential - opening up new frontiers in science, medicine and technology. 　　 　　译文(3): Richard Fortey教授深入研究了迷人且通常隐藏的真菌王国。从他们壮观的出生，到他们隐秘的地下生活，再到他们最后的爆炸性死亡，理查德揭示了一个我们很少了解甚至意识到存在的非凡世界——然而地球上所有的生命都依赖于它。
