Take the time to watch it, it isn't about tripping but makes you think just as much.

wow.  serisously that was really impressive some of the things that he has found out.  The whole using a fungus as a pesticide was genious, the boxes that biodegrade and can grow food from, the way fungi can be used to deter environmental impact due to humans, and also the fact that some of the fungus he found was able to deter some sicknesses was really cool.  His studies on the microscopic structure of fungi was really interesting.  I didn't quite understand his whole connection with internet and the fungus but I could definately see the co-relation between a humans neurological build and the fungi.  Its too bad all these people didn't actually watch the video it was really really interesting.

great post man gives me a lot more respect for simple inanimate seeming plants in our world and how they really can affect our everyday lives.

that was amazing. he just kept blowing my mind over and over again. it's awesome that he just introduced the fungi to an oil spill and it naturally turned back over to the ecosystem i feel like thats a gigantic step. all of them were gigantic steps actually. pesticides, fuel, human waste clean up, medicine and solving world hunger all naturally. its like a dream come true...

lol at all the responses saying it was trippy just because the title had mushrooms in it.

The picture he had with the huge mushrooms towering above all the plants was fucking crazy. I had no idea mushrooms were so important and useful.

shrooming is such a weird word. it sounds so ackward.

but do you ever go on shroomery.org. i dunno where you live, but i know when i was living out in washington, that site helped me trip more than 10 times free of charge. and having your own mushrooms that you picked and preserved is so sick.

Bump. FInally got to watch it.  Didn't realize it wasn't about psilocybin mushrooms.

That was amazing though. I always knew that fungi were powerful organisms but I never realized how benefitial they were in so many ways.  Being the hippie Natural Resource Major student that I am, I had only previously known about how they are good for fighting viruses and for soil rejuvenation though.  Great post.
