Evangelical Mycologist

This is a cool video of a guy talking about how awesome Mushrooms are.

I saw that earlier, but can’t watch the video here at work… can you summarize, pretty please? What are the 6 ways that 'shrooms can save the world?

The thread title reminds me of a line critic Richard de Mille made, commenting on mycologist Gordon Wasson (who, in turn, was writing about Carlos Castaneda and his descriptions of Don Juan’s drug trips):
“There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in your Mycology.”

Evangelist & Mycologist.
Swell.
Phone him up.
Let’s see if he can get my Athlete’s Foot to convert.

Watched the video - very cool and inspiring!

I managed to watch it last night as well; very cool if all that is true and lives up to its promise.

Well, I was only partially watching it so I don’t remember the six things in order. The most interesting things that stood out to me though were three.

  1. Using Mushrooms as mediator to create ethanol more efficiently and to help the soil recover faster.
  2. To help replenish old growth forests and to slow deforestation.
  3. As a method to kill Carpenter Ants and Termites.

This is making me laugh far more than it should.
