Fall asleep to "A Relaxing Story for Sleep: 100 Soothing Facts About Mushrooms" in this relaxing documentary designed to cure insomnia. To enter the world of the mushroom is to enter a realm of quietude, a damp and shadowed kingdom that exists largely beneath our feet, unseen and unheard. It is a world that operates on a timeline far slower and more patient than the frenetic pace of human life. From the silent creep of mycelium through ancient soil to the ethereal glow of bioluminescence in the deep woods, the Kingdom Fungi serves as the steward of the earth. In this sleep story, we drift away from the noise of the surface world and descend into the microscopic, the detailed, and the serene complexity of nature.
