Forgotten Kingdom

Season 5 Episode 4 | 27m 15sVideo has Closed Captions

Learn about how fungi may help make biofuels and paper without harsh chemicals.

These extraordinary living organisms, which incidentally are genetically more like animals than plants, remove debris from our forests, cure disease (think penicillin), make bread rise, allow us to make wine, and give flavor to our best cheeses. Exploring North Carolina viewers learn that in the future, fungi may also make biofuels and help us make paper without harsh chemicals.
