How Fungi Could Save the World!
Manage episode 433955071 series 3446270
There is an entire world - just below our feet - that defies our conventional understanding of intelligence. It’s a superhighway of fungal interconnectedness, trillions of miles of fungal networks that enable trees to recognize their families, communicate with each other and even share resources. And those fungi, which may be hundreds of millions of years old, may just be the key to saving our planet from pollution and global warming!
In this episode, Jason and Peter are joined by Louie Schwartzberg, director of the beautiful 2019 documentary film, “Fantastic Fungi” to explore the amazing world of fungi and mushrooms, and to discuss their awe-inspiring power to heal, protect, and transform our world. And what's most shocking… mushrooms are more closely related to humans than they are to plants…Really, no Really!
IN THIS EPISODE:
- How trees communicate and help their kin.
- Our symbiotic relationship with fungus explained.
- The importance of no-till farming and curtailing the use of fossil fuel made fertilizers.
- The mycelium network could reduce climate change.
- How mushrooms clean oil spills!
- Using psylocibin to treat terminally ill cancer patients to lessen their fear of death.
- Mankind’s rapid evolution is attributed to psylocibin in mushrooms!
- James Cameron’s Avatar is effectively about Pandora’s mycelia network.
- The transcendent power of time-lapse photography.
- Mushrooms have beneficial antibodies & potentially cancer-fighting properties.
- Google-heim: The largest fungus is WAY bigger than you think & the most expensive mushroom in the world!
