How fungi shaped our world and could save it | Merlin Sheldrake

The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. They can change our minds, heal our bodies and even help us avoid environmental disaster; they are metabolic masters, earth-makers and key players in most of nature's processes. In Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake takes us on a mind-altering journey into their spectacular world, and reveals how these extraordinary organisms transform our understanding of our planet and life itself.

"Entangled Life" which I read earlier this year us one of my all time favourite popular science books. Absolutely riveting, connecting biology to sociology, ecology, philosopphy and more. Amazing achievment.

Lets all take a moment to acknowledge heroes of society, like Merlin Sheldrake and Terrence Mckenna, saving the world.

I want to buy Merlin a pint or 2 and spend hours listening to what human's should sound like. Bless you mate. Keep up the great and significant work.

Rupert and his dearly old friend Terence McKenna must be happy about his work;)

Dude, those fungi cells are totally tubular!

At my university a student was working on growing fungi in a wind mill- mould, as in bio-degradable blades.

When Penguin Books tell you about Psilocybin you know the people know better than the UK Government.

I've been learning how to grow over the last couple of months. I've grown a couple different species so far. (๑ˊ͈ ॢꇴ ˋ͈)〜♡॰ॱCan we just talk about how dang cute they are for a moment? Lil' mushrooms, poppin' up in weird places, their cute little shapes, the way they wiggle when you poke at them. I don't even like eating mushrooms, I just think they're so cute.

[simonhough]

there is a song called jesus was a mushroom, check is out and a book was written years ago on this subject very intresting.

[andrewbarnett]

The big question is how much do they know.
