Canadian documentary film maker Robert Mann, is distributing his recent production “Know Your Mushrooms” on USB flash drive. The film will also be available on DVD in September, 2009. According to one report, the first edition of the USB version is already sold-out, with another production run in the works. The film follows events and people surrounding the Telluride Mushroom Festival and features Larry Evans and Gary Lincoff. An interview with Mann, featuring the USB edition, was recently aired on the CBC show AM Canada.
The film premiered in early 2009 and is currently featured in screenings at various venues — including the upcoming Telluride festival on August 27-30th, in Telluride, Colorado (USA).
