SYNOPSIS: A group of people (skipper, first mate, movie star, millionaire, professor, his student, and a popular novelist) go on a pleasure cruise together, and their boat is caught in a violent storm. It drifts until they come ashore on an island shrouded in mist.
There is virtually nothing to eat on the island (few plants, no animals) until they discover that it's teeming with mushrooms. They also find a much larger vessel that has been beached for at least a year, and discover that there's something unusual about the mushrooms. Like, how do mushrooms teem, anyway?
