Fungi and Mushrooms Can Save Bees, Food Supply and The Planet by Paul Stamets

Videos below.
Quick notes:
– Fire carriers used mushrooms to transport fires. Shamans use it for all sorts.

– Study of house trees survived in the hardest places because of them.

– Zoomed in they mirror the galaxy.

– First they clean up the place and then they unlock the door so lots of other life can proliferate.

– They can break up hydrocarbons so clean up well. (I vaguely remember reading how they cleaned up Fukushima but not too sure). He cleaned up his sewage system with wood-chips and mushroom mycelium. He thinks ‘Gourmet and medicinal mushroom farms should be localised near every major community and re-invented as Environmental Healing Arts Centres’.

– They can feed us in space.

– They’re great against flu and viruses.

– How slime mould redesigned the Japanese subway system when it’s already so efficient. How well? Optimised 99% perfection of proof. (No idea what it means)

– Nature/God/Gaia will reward those who respect nature.

– All good stuff about agarikon mushrooms.

– He patents “universal bio-pesticide” that Big Ag calls “the most disruptive technology that we have ever witnessed.” And ‘gave it’ to Australia?

– Great at fighting cancer. His moms story about no detectable tumours in 6 months.

Summary:
– They started in Fremantle 3 years ago and now have spread to 19 growers across Australia.

– The nutritional value is great and can be grown on waste products.

– It’s beneficial for health, community and environment.

– Anyone can do it as the packs are automated and all you need is a 3m by 3m space.

– Since restaurants are used to buying them from Taiwan you can sell it for much cheaper and they would be happy to buy local and fresher.

– The kits he sells are already set up and inoculated. Just need to put it in the shroom-room and set up humidity etc.

– You have support online all the time with videos.

– Tour of the HQ.
