I am running my tests with mycelium in my small lab and I am sure it is the answer to a better future, unfortunately, my country has no money to research so I do as I can.

This has so little publicity, hopefully it becomes more widely known

My son, (a freshman at an environmental college in Central California) loves mycelium 101. He will help save this planet 🙏 💜

What would be the best is to ban all non recyclable products but yet we just wait for a miracle that will just show up for a nonstop money pit.

Wow, a lot of bio tech coming out in 2030. What a coincidence.

Absolutely no way mushrooms can be carbon negative. Mushrooms release carbon dioxide and do not absorb it.

Why did you choose corn? Is it the membrane of the husk that the mycelium recognize?

Using the term "Janitor" in nature is understandable, but it seems many will automatically associate any kind of "Janitor" with human sewage. It is easier for nature to digest dead plants and other living entities that have died. Thank you for sharing helpful and informative videos!

@@gabesmith5570 @amanitamuscaria5863 I don't think you realize how keeping this tech a secret *can* safeguard it for more people... Let's say this technology threatened the profits of a huge chemical corporation who then decides to just go ahead and form an entire R&D project to develop this kind of tech. They could do it much faster and out-patent the other company, especially if a secret was revelaved, because they have way more resources. The result is that they would develop the tech faster and patent all of the possible uses. Then they fire all the scientists, and close the R&D dept, and none of the technology ends up in the hands of consumers. Why? Many chemicals and plastics come from petroleum, and they have billions of dollars invested in that resource. The money that they just "wasted" on doing all that R&D for mycelium was a drop in the bucket for them. It's just how big business works. Another reason we hear about really cool things like this, or some drug that cures some disease, and then never hear about it again is that the scientists doing the work usually don't own their work, or if they do..say a university professor finds a promising cure for a rare disease and he actually gets to patent this drug. Even if he managed to get all the money for all the clinical trials etc etc etc, he still doesn't own a phamaceutical production lab. So...in walks a rep from a huge pharma company and offers to buy the patent for more money than the scientist could dream of.... meanwhile that company has another drug that people have to take for a long time to treat the symptoms of the disease.. The company buys the patent and sits on it. It is in the best financial interests of their investors to do so. Their obligation to their investors is to make money, not cure disease. I honestly don't know what good typing all that out might do. It just made me sad to see people accusing a small company of the kinds of 'evils' that exist in the world of giant corporations. But also.. These people spent years of their lives to figure something out and you expect them to just give away their work for free

13:18 During the production of insulation, but what is the carbon cost of growing all that grain? Is it going to make sense how growing corn into ethanol didn't make sense?

Hmm, last i checked, fungi produce carbon, not absorb it like plants. 🤔

Well, you could not replace everything with carbon absorbing things. If it is biodegradeble, later can be used as compost material so the plants can absorb it. Also using plant based fuel like charcoal is also realeas co2. The goal is to establishing a new, sustainable industry which can support our needs, while let the nature regenerate itself. If they engineering this fungi thing well, it totally can fit in this sustainability. You can catch a huge amount of co2, just have to find the industry for it which will sponsore it. Like forest planting (not so industrialized sector), or the new trend is seaweed farming/ sea cultivating.

dont forget about where their source material is coming from...in London its probably not 0km. Also every fungal cultivation I know of used plastics.

So these fungi won't start eating plastic household appliances? Just wondering 🙂

If polyester/cotton blend shirts can get mildew spots and break down outside or in the ground, (maybe slower than all cotton) then something must be able to break it all down, eventually. Fungi makes sense. I saw the video of Ghana and how their beaches are being pollutes by the imports of secondhand fast fashion clothing from western countries, just sent away and half of them unsellable or stained already. They are creating these "tentacles" of twisted up ropes of clothing, buried into the beaches, almost impossible to dig out of the sand. I'm curious what the long term effects of these textile ropes incorporated into the shores are gonna do to pollute and also alter the bacterial and fungal makeup of the beach water there. We are I feel, entering a new era of bacterial and fungal adaptation to human pollution. Not only climate change, but this "anthropocene" era is going to have weird consequences for environments altered by pollution and how the ecology tries to heal itself when we don't do our part to clean up.

the intro was very misleading as there was nothing on plastic eating mushrooms?
