Paul Stamets health nature unique I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind. The mycelium stays in constant molecular communication with its environment, devising diverse enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges. Paul Stamets communication nature believe Fungi are the grand recyclers of the planet and the vanguard species in habitat restoration. Paul Stamets vanguard habitat restoration I see the mycelium as the Earth's natural Internet, a consciousness with which we might be able to communicate. Through cross-species interfacing, we may one day exchange information with these sentient cellular networks. Because these externalized neurological nets sense any impression upon them, from footsteps to falling tree branches, they could relay enormous amounts of data regarding the movements of all organisms through the landscape. Paul Stamets data tree fall The task that we face today is to understand the language of nature. Paul Stamets tasks faces today Mycelium is Earth's natural Internet.

Paul Stamets mushrooms growth brain Nature is a numbers game. We need all the support we can get as our immune systems and health are under assault from pollution, stress, contaminated food and age-related diseases as our lifespans increase. Paul Stamets stress games numbers Chaga is significant in ethnomycology, forest ecology, and increasingly in pharmacognosy. Its long-term human use and cultural eastern European and Russian acceptance should awaken serious researchers to its potential as a reservoir of new medicines, and as a powerful preventive ally for protecting DNA. Paul Stamets medicine powerful acceptance From dead plant matter to nematodes to bacteria, never underestimate the cleverness of mushrooms to find new food! Paul Stamets bacteria mushrooms matter Although the trends are promising and reishi mushrooms exhibit a number of interesting medicinal properties, modern scientific techniques have yet to affirm its traditional 'panacea polypore' status. Paul Stamets mushrooms numbers interesting Vitamin D from mushrooms is not only vegan and vegetarian friendly, but you can prepare your own by exposing mushrooms to the summer sun.
