Sticking it to the Mushrooms

So, mushrooms. They're everywhere, as you may have heard.

Even on Canada A.M., where a new documentary, "Know Your Mushrooms," was featured this week, mostly because of its unusual distribution system: the USB stick. It's also by a Canadian filmmaker. And the focus is on the Telluride mushroom festival, which you can pretty well count on attracting a few interesting lunatics worth making a documentary about.

To see the clip, go here. The USB stick looks like a cross between an anime figure and something from a 1970s-era kitchen.

But anyway, we can't seem to get away from the mushrooms these days. Even on morning TV.
