Fungi are incredible decomposers that release enzymes which can break down many different kinds of materials and chemicals, some of which, toxic to our environment. Because of this, many have wondered, “Can fungi solve our pollution problem, and if so, how?”
Find out in this video as Breanna from North Spore dives into the world of mycoremediation by conducting her own experiments using waste materials to grow mushrooms. She also speaks with mycoremediation expert Dr. Lauren Czaplicki, who has used fungi to remediate contaminated soils, and Sue Van Hook, a mycologist who has invented the world's first mushroom buoy in efforts to reduce plastic waste in our oceans.
We hope you enjoy this video!

they've also found superworms that can eat styrofoam!
This was such an amazing video to watch. Thanks a bunch!
This is such an inspiration video and makes me smile a lot! I'm starting to appreciate more about fungi role in this earth and many of them also have beautiful shapes!!❤❤
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video. :)
Amazing video. How lucky we are to be living in a time where mushrooms are properly researched and the abilities they can perform are documented.
Hi i am a new follower of this channel, since 3 days and I like this tipe of video on fugi.
Whith these video i have discovered a new world.
Good luck for the future.
Can you tell us a bit more about your incubation and fruiting chambers and their conditions?
we used a North Spore BoomRoom. Incubation should ideally be someplace dark and room temp, a closet works well. Fruiting requires a high humidity environment with good airflow. Check out our video on Martha Tents, it goes over all of the conditions needed for both in more detail!
How did you choose which species to use in these studies?
If the plan isn't to eat the mushrooms then this may open up the market for researching/hunting/cultivating/selling species outside of the gourmet & medicinal realm.
totally. we used blue oysters for the speed of colonization and adaptability. I'm certain there are plenty of other unknown species that could be useful for waste reduction
A really well done video. Informative and entertaining. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job on your video! Excellent presentation and very informative 👏 👍
Thanks!!
Very cool video! Thank you for producing and sharing this video.
That was fascinating. Pity they are not edible due to risks of what they are absorbing but that's no different to larger sea fish, shell fish risks or similar, from bioaccumulation of toxins. Really cool experiment though.
Thank you for this enthusiastic video
Glad you enjoyed it!
BIG LIKE ❤️🎉
EXCELLENT SHARING MY DEAR FRIEND
NICE PRESENTATION🎉🎉🎉🎉
WATCHING FROM NEW DELHI INDIA
Very nice
thanks
thanks for watching!
I have a question, you said that fungi can accumulate heavy metals and other nonbiodegradable substances, it cannot degrade this waste completely, so where is all this ultimately going to land?
Good question. A lot of it will end up in fruiting bodies (mushrooms) that can be remove and put into a dump. Otherwise, the mushrooms can help dilute the contaminants, which is one of the most powerful ways of addressing pollution.
I wander if these unedable mushrooms can be turned into healthy soil by letting them beeing eaten by mealworms. Caus mealworms can atleast turn certain artificial material into healthy compost. Give it a try!
Very cool
Can I grow White oyster mushrooms in leaves and dried grass cuttings?
Probably! But they do prefer hard wood and straw substrates
@@NorthSpore i'll make sure to sterilize my substrate thoroughly brcause concap mushrooms killed off my pinheads.
New subscriber here. Don’t know too much about growing mushrooms, I’ve only ever done it twice so far. I’m looking for budget friendly ways I could grow edible mushrooms at home without having to buy expensive mycelium blocks every time? Is there a way I can turn one mycelium block into 2 or more? I dont have access to a pressure cooker to sterilize things if that’s a necessary step.
Check out our bucket tek method! northspore.com/blogs/the-black-trumpet/growing-mushrooms-in-buckets-containers
You could even make small buckets and use them inside our grow tent.
@@NorthSpore thanks for the reply I’ll check it out 👍🙏
I knew fungi could produce edible mushrooms from petroleum spills & cardboard leaving rejuvenated material behind, great way to recycle, compost & cultivate
Please grow it on veggy waste, or compost. Please pls 🙏
Do you need to steralize plastic wrapped sugarcane multch?
can you tell me a little bit more about what the application is?
growing oyster mushrooms. The sell sugarcane mulch here in vacuum seals plastic budles, I have a feeling they have already been steralized before packaging@@NorthSpore
Are there studies on the non ediblelity of those?
Sunlight purifies garden soil that has been contaminated with dangerous fertilizers created when grasses have been sprayed, farm animals eat and poop to make composts for our gardens. Just out law plastics. But everything in grocery stores are wrapped in plastic. Fresh meats, breads, trail mix, plastic bags for each type of fruit and veggies we put in the carriage. So think outside the box for solutions. Sorry for my rant.
There is some stuff out there. We did attempt to get the mushrooms we grew analyzed, but that sort of stalled.
@@NorthSporewould love any updates on the results of the analyses!
I grew mushrooms a handful of times in college for recreational purposes
I grew some mushrooms in aluminium trays they ate the trays
What about toxic paint in jeans and other clothes?? All colours have heavy metals salt in their molecules! All mushrooms absorbing heavy metals!!!
we address all of this in the video!

I hope that you didn't "mycoremediate" Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.
That's an awesome read and he's a real fun guy. His dad Rupert, is perty' cool too.
And his brother Cosmo has some cool music
The only real advantage i can see for doing this is to reduce the size of the landfill, as none is edible, or usable in the garden/fields.
It could be edible, with polipropilene plastic that goes to landfill with the right cleaning, also you can use glass, and straw to make an edible and healthy outcome easily at home , the ups on mushrooms are huge. And some species you dont really need too much to start. Go shroooooommmmmm and be happy!!!!
The world is doomed when North Spore gets too into "The Last of Us".

I thought this was a mushroom that would eat plastic.
too much work. but yes i think fungus is great for toxic chemical reduction.
Just about everything's a possible or probable carcinogen these days. The only exceptions are things like alcohol and sunlight that are definite carcinogens. I'm not making any effort to avoid things that we aren't even sure are carcinogenic, since that'd be kinda a lost cause.
fair enough! there are certainly a lot of 'probable carcinogens' in our environment
Why did you wait until 20 minutes in to warn people? Start with the science and then you should do all the glamour shots
Hahahahahhahahaha damn man, no bullshit eh
What do you mean? I feel like they did a pretty good job of explaining things from the very beginning. Maybe you just weren’t paying attention 🤷♂️
So you want humans to CONSUME mushrooms grown from worn clothes and all sorts of garbage that who knows contains what.
There is a fine line between caring for the environment to being disgusting and selfish.
We're sorry that you feel this way. As stated in the video, we do not recommend that people consume mushrooms from "worn clothes" or questionable, discarded materials. Especially they have been exposed to toxic chemicals or heavy metals. The purpose of this video is to encourage people to use fungi for minimizing waste streams via bioremediation strategies in order to promote a healthy environment.
If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to let us know.
