No one knows what happened, and the story of the Ninth Legion has been quite a lure for writers, film makers and television in recent years presumably because it can go absolutely anywhere without having to invent everything.^

Fantastic Fungi is a documentary about fungi and mushrooms. It can only be seen at select screening locations so plan to do a search. I wish it was available to pay per view online, but we also met some cool people in the lobby after the film was over.

If you're expecting it to be all about magic trippin' shrooms, it's not. Though they are mentioned, it's more about the potential health benefits including helping treat Alzheimers and some forms of cancer. Something I had not heard before is that some variants of fungi can decompose toxic waste. Very cool film. The visuals were awesome.
If anybody else has seen it I would like to know what you think.
