OK, my brother implored me to watch this video (he's just become certified in permaculture so he's into this stuff) so I did. It was a struggle to be honest.
The beginning seemed boring, maybe because it's over my head. But around minute 13, it really caught my attention. Please consider watching!
Mycologist Paul Stamets studies mycelium and lists 6 ways that this astonishing fungus can help save the world. Cleaning polluted soil, creating new insecticides, treating smallpox and maybe even the flu ... in 18 minutes, he doesn't get all the way through his list, but he has plenty of time to blow your mind.
"Mushrooms produce strong antibiotics."
"-then we tried extracts, and lo and behold, we can steer insects to different directions. This has huge implications."
------------------- What do you guys think if we contact this guy and ask if he'll work on mushrooms vs. lyme/ticks?
