The Creeping Garden is a feature length documentary exploring the work of fringe scientists, mycologists and artists, and their relationship with the extraordinary plasmodial slime mould.

I am glad you liked it.
It seems that sailors say: "there's no such thing as bad weather. Only different kinds of good weather."
Analogously, maybe we could stretch it a bit and say that there are different kinds of beauty.
Considering how life has shown to be rare, perhaps all living things are beautiful.
