The Importance of Fungi in the World’s Soils | Peter McCoy

As powerful decomposers and efficient nutrient movers, the world’s macro and micro fungi fulfill critical roles in the sustainment of resilient soil and habitat ecologies. In this talk, Peter McCoy highlights these keystone fungal functions to demonstrate the many reasons that the funga should be placed alongside the flora and fauna in any discussion on environmental health.

Peter McCoy is an author, researcher, and interdisciplinary educator advancing a variety of applied mycology fields. With nearly 20 years of experience working with fungi, Peter is widely regarded as a pioneer in areas of environmental regeneration utilizing fungi. And his exhaustive reference guide to these and other practices, Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing and Working With Fungi (Chthaeus Press, 2016), is considered a milestone for the progress of mycology as a people’s science.
Peter is an original founder of the mycological advocacy organization Radical Mycology, a committee member of the Fungi Film Festival, and the founder of MYCOLOGOS, the world’s first mycology school. From his hometown in Portland, Oregon, Peter’s daily practice centers on pondering, designing, cultivating, and researching ever-healthier relations between humans, fungi, and the habitats we share.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

    What a fascinating talk. Much appreciated. The only point of disagreement is that i like to refer to the "fungal kindom" as fungi are the weavers of kinship relations that seem to subvert any hierarchy such as king or queen.

    Has anyone worked with fairy rings to use to enhance crop lands? I have a veg farm with heavy clay loam soils and have been chopping large quantities of grass and briers to add to the surface to conserve moisture and control weeds. For the last couple years I have been adding a 12'' deep windrow of this to my beds and tilling this in and I have seen a great plant response to this method. I don't have the time or resources to make huge amounts of compost and then applying it so this method is working great. Is this a bad practice?

    That's interesting, @ 23:00 he mentioned Trichoderma as a compost activator, but in SFW course Trichoderma is recommended not to be used unless you have an outbreak of pathogenic fungus, as it will wipe out all beneficial fungus. I see a contradiction here, can anyone explain?

    Hello, i am really fascinated by your farming practices and I am getting positive vibes watching your videos. Would love to try out regenrative method as i am tired of using chemicals on my land. But before that i have few questions. 1. How many times a year you are able to produce and sell through this method. 2. How long will it take to rejuvinate a soil with organic carbon levels below 0.80. 3. Can this farming method prove to be more profitable for really small scale farmers(less than 10 acres) who are stuck in monocroping producing just rice and wheat in a year. 4. Where can i get proper guidance, as i am financially unable to pay for your online program which is worth 100s of dollar. 5. Is there any hope for small scale indian farmers like me, through this method or is it only for farmers who own hunreds and thousands of acres.🙏

    @@gordonstewart8258 thanks to both of you,i will check. Plus water cup initiative you re referring to is great for hilly regions(like southern india), but i am from punjab(north india) its a fertile plain with No elevation at all. So there is no room for water to flow off. Rain will stay wherever it falls. Green revolution from 70,s has messed our soil, tillage and chemical inputs are increading year by year (puddling also), we are pumping more underground water than anywhere else in the world(for paddy). We are on our last legs.

    I'm very concerned about bias here, especially when he starts almost humanizing the fungy as intentionally helping others. When it was mentioned that plants "saturated" with fertilizer no longer accept fungy it was pretty quickly glossed over, assuming natural fertilizer is being used what is the downside to not using fungy?
