One summer day, a party of seven friends including a captain, a skipper, a professor, a movie actress and a girl-next-door set off on a sailing trip. When night falls they find themselves surrounded by fog, their ship tossed and turned by heavy seas and spun. In the morning they find their mast snapped in half like a toothpick, and discover they’ve washed into the harbor of an unfamiliar island. They find a wrecked sailing ship covered in mold, and discover that it was a spy ship secretly investigating the island's strange fungus growths, dubbed Matango. The fauna is strangely absent on this piece of sub-continental land.
As the passengers squabble amongst themselves, strange creatures stalk them at night and they become tempted by the deadly mushrooms which grow all over the island...
