    So you grow a sword out of your flesh and it becomes an extension with properties of metal, but looks like mycelium. You heal by creating mycelium orbs of which you eat to boost regeneration, etc.
    Humans hunt monsters and eats their core, gaining power.

    Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

      Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

    am I misunderstanding? Coffee grounds are very good for soil. They add nitrogen to them, which makes it easier for plants to grow bigger. In fact, you should use your own coffee grounds at home in your garden if you have one. Same with eggshells and milk that's expired.

    • @sarahburkinshaw8307
      @sarahburkinshaw8307 Před rokem +11

      There's mixed evidence on that. Too much nitrogen can actually damage plants - an overload can inhibit plant growth. And also unlike what the guy in the video said, coffee grounds aren't actually that acidic. The problem is the leftover caffeine in them is actually bad for plant growth. Plants with caffeine evolved that way to inhibit other plants from growing nearby.

It was a really fun story and this video gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

      If we're on the topic of fictional stories involving sentient fungi there's a BL sci-fi book called Little Mushroom: Judgement Day written by a Chinese author about an Earth whose magnetic poles vanished and everything ended up mutating. Fast-forward 100 years, Earth has become hostile and humanity is on its last legs. The story follows a little mushroom who consumed the body of a human and gained the ability to mutate into one and ventures into a human establishment trying to find his spore. Way smarter than me on several topics but an amusing read nonetheless given the title.

    That's all great stuff you got going on there 👍, that said, a....note on the casket issue? ie: the slow uptake issue, perhaps growing some sort of closure mechanism, straps or something, bc, like I'm not even precious about dying, or grossness of the circle of life, but still, the open,
    ill-fitted, unsecured casket top.... I mean, that's just not going to appeal to a whole lot of people, on multiple levels.
    The Simple vanity for the most part, or, the chance of falling out in the process of the funeral in an unfortunate misstep of a Pallbearer? Let's be honest was my first thought.

      I just can't see the advantage of a mycelium casket over an untreated wooden one. It might degrade faster, but it's also more fragile and probably more resource intensive as well (because you'd need thick walls). Not to mention the price

I've done speeches on the necessity of the rainforest, my children learned young the importance of recycling, I live my life by Reduce Reuse Recycle..... The huge problem is the same now as it was 50 yrs ago, humans apathy and complacency; humans believe they are separate from their environment and people don't believe in the importance of taking care of their home. Even when we finally destroy ourselves, humans won't acknowledge responsibility; they'll just blame our destruction on their God.

    The coffin idea is the best one. The old way of doing burials is soooo bad for the planet. We pump the dead body with Tons of chemicals to STOP it from decomposing , then we put clothes and jewelry and other stuff that takes forever to break down inside of a wooden box that is covered in chemicals to Stop it from decomposing , and we do that millions of times, and it’s soooo bad for the planet …. Plus , who wouldn’t want their body to break down and feed new plants and animals !?!? That’s the circle of life! I would LOVE my body to nourish other creatures and beings once I’m done with it.

    The only way companies will start replacing all their plastic packaging with mushrooms, if they owned the mushroom farm and process.
    I had a boss who was all about profits, about about a year working for him I crunched some numbers and realized our customers have a high chance of getting damaged product from our current shipping process, but he kept the packaging, he refused to change because redesigning packaging would be expensive. Until I gave him the numbers he would lose if he didn't change, customer acquisition, damaged returns and retaining customers. He changed the next day.

Mycelium sends information in both directions. Plant oyster mushrooms in the water run off from the stock yards, and in 24 hours, all the e-coli is gone. Oh, so much more!
