so many things you can do with fungi and
this is what keeps us up at night punch
out for food medicine textiles fiber
packaging materials even biofuel fungi
just have this potential to unlock
biological material that’s a waste
product in our civilization and convert
it into something else so that’s what’s
exciting and everyone’s like scampering
on to this bandwagon to try to catch up
I started as a grower and I was out
collecting edible mushrooms that would
be all I was interested in the edibility
the economic factor you know I can sell
this mushroom to make money this one’s
definitely sellable it smells really
good it’s just untie me completely
that’s affection all in the meantime I’m
focused on this one mushroom in the
woods while there I’m passing thousands
and I’ve got my blinders on
now all I’m interested in is is all
those little brackets and fungi I have a
lot of species of fungi here in the lab
and there’s one and a half million
species plus a fun giant on the planet
to concentrate to somehow do we need to
chemists or it kind of our theory is
that when you have an infection and
you’re either not sure what the bacteria
is or you know that that bacteria is
drug-resistant so we don’t have a really
perfect treatment that you could take
that bacterial inoculate the mushroom so
put it on the mushroom the mushroom
would then sweat out these metabolites
and those metabolites would basically be
able to kill that bacteria so it’s like
a personalized antibiotic production
system for your infection knowing the
problems we have with antimicrobial
resistance something like this that’s
coming out of a different perspective
and saying looks let’s take advantage of
what the natural world can already do to
meet that’s just fascinating
I think it’s unlimited what we could do
with mushrooms once we know more about
the different varieties that are out
there and more about their biology in
general right now Haiti has been
completely deforested and so part of the
process of developing requires building
materials there is a urgency to go out
and find new sustainable products and I
think this has a really big potential to
be one of those we’re looking at
compression strength tensile strength
lamely hardens its ability to act as
insulation the fungi has so many
properties that are healing properties
antibiotic properties lightweight it’s a
great source of protein it will be able
to filter all sorts of pathogens and
chemicals out of our water system
the amount of potential solutions that
we have for fungi are tremendous good
girl
it’s her favorite you open one door
there’s ten doors then you open up that
one and it’s a hundred and all these
have not been explored yet this is just
the beginning
we’re not sure why the fungi
bioluminesce and that’s what we’re
trying to do right now let’s figure out
why
