“Mycelium Running” – Paul Stamets

Posted by Jake. 2 Comments

In the video above…Mycologist…Paul Stamets…explains the many benefits of mushrooms.
While growing up…the only awareness I had of mushrooms was that they came on pizza…   but it appears there’s much more to them than that!!
 
For the last year….we’ve been experimenting with the “noble mushrooms“..also known as the “polypore mushrooms”..or tree mushrooms…because they’re usually found growing in forests… on dying or fallen trees…or old logs and stumps.
 
From amazing nutritional benefits….to growing food…..to restoring forests to the natural state…to environmental clean up…they have many gifts to offer us!! 
 
We love them so much that we consume them almost daily…with amazing results!!

 

We’re currently learning to identify and seek out these special medicines in the wild….a long with herbs and natural springs!  We think we may have found some Chaga and Coriolus on the mountain near our home last week, while hunting for new springs…more on that in future posts….!

 

If what Paul Stamets had to say…interested you…check out “Mycelium Running“..it’s FULL of inspiring information!!

also..check out fungi.com - Paul’s site for selling mushroom spawns and cultures…as well as great mushroom blends to consume and use in your garden!!

 

I’m also looking forward to working more closely with fungi in growing food…right now we’re just using… mychorizzal fungi…

 

We also really like the single mushrooms and 5 mushroom complex.. from mushroomscience.com
