Certainly one of the things that would engage me re. mushrooms, is to first admit, somehow, to what is 'uninteresting' about them - what I mean is, there's this incredible process going on for even the most common or garden mushroom - you know, the pale boring sort that people have on toast. I can just imagine the initial disinterest of a undergraduate student faced with the prospect of studying the life-cycle of a fungus - a sort of ironic 'wow - a mushroom, so what?' tone, that could quickly be challenged visually so that the animation gives way to this dynamic, rather extraordinary hidden world of biological process.
