Il Re

from Il Quarto Regno · host AVD Reform

Il reishi è conosciuto anche come il fungo dell’immortalità. Per cercarlo, nel 210 a.C. l’alchimista Xu Fu, agli ordini dell’imperatore cinese Qin Shi Huang partì con una flotta di circa 60 navi, deciso a raggiungere il leggendario Monte Penglai. La seconda puntata de ‘Il Quarto Regno’ è interamente dedicata al Ganoderma lucidum, questo il nome scientifico del reishi. Federica De Masi e Stefania Cazzavillan ci guidano alla scoperta di questo fungo straordinario, fra scienza e leggenda.Crediti sonori e musicali:  ‘Arcade Anthem’ di Cosmo Lawson – Shutterstock.com‘I Feel Freedom’ di Dope Cate – Shutterstock.com‘Voyager in Space’ di Babel – Shutterstock.com‘Digital World’ di Peter McIsaac Music – Shutterstock.com‘A Gentle Transition’ Immersive Music – Shutterstock.comCitazione del videogioco ‘Super Mario Bros’ – ‘Ground Theme’ di Koji KondoUna bibliografia essenziale, per approfondire: MP.
