Entangled Lives: Fungal Networks, Ecology, and Us.
A fascinating conversation with the biologist and writer Merlin Sheldrake about the hidden universe of fungi. When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms, but mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems.
Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster.
By examining fungi on their own terms, Merlin reveals how these extraordinary organisms-and our relationships with them-are changing our understanding of how life works.
This talk is hosted by Maurizio Benazzo.

"We have a responsibility to be curious about the world we live in." Yes. Thank you.
Not a natural propensity then?
@@williamoarlock8634 Both. Many have the propensity but only intellectually or emotionally so, and never move out into the world to experience that which they were curious about. The responsibility is to broaden the definition of 'curious'.
Holy Shit Oarlock. I know what you're thinking.
Merlin's book is awesome and his father Rupert Sheldrake is an incedible biologist; much respect to both!
And great respect to his mother, Jill Purce, too! Merlin is a wonderful stable 'blend' of their talents and knowledge!
And his brother Cosmo Sheldrake is a great musician too. Very talented family indeed!
Yes, I agree and i wish Terrence McKenna was still with us.
It is fascinating to see the son of two people one knows so well, and to see how, in his body, mannerisms and ideas, he is such a fusion of his parents.
Mind-blowing research and a lovely interview. We are all inter-connected. A challenge to discretist thinking, selfish behaviour, and indeed to the dominant neoliberal paradigm. To say we could learn a thing or two from fungi is a vast understatement - they have survived and thrived for millions of years through mass extinction events. Mutualism seems to be the paradigm shift we need.
Merlin radiates such a pleasant energy doesn't he?🙏
What a cosmically delightful human.
I'm completely enthralled with this and the work of Merlin Sheldrake. Astonishing, to say the leas. Bright moments
So this is Rupert's son... wonderful 🙏
Ohhhh!!
I was wondering if that was the case as soon as I saw the title and thumbnail
@@JorgeGonzalez-sx7fk He sure takes after his dad :)
@@epictetus9221 and his mum
@@claremilei173 of course, I'm just more familiar with Rupert and his work.
Merlin Sheldrake opens a new vision of the beautiful complexity of our enigmatic world - Bravo!
Fairness is a sure sign of intelligence.
Thanks guys!
A very pleasing young gentleman, no doubt brilliant,
focused and well adjusted.
The tree doesn't stand far from the fruit, I suppose. Success.
Merlin sounds so like his Dad. I bet he gets sick of hearing that. Great guy. Sounds like fungi will be just fine.
Such a delightful and informative conversation. Thank you!
he so reminds me of his dear dad. God bless!
Everyone must know this information it's so amazing 👏 and useful. "The separation is the illusion. " brilliant!
What a beauty! And what a fascinating conversation!
Love this! Thank you. So good to listen to something that does not focus on the human.
A beautifully entangled conversation!! Thank you both of you!!! And I LOVE the book...most most fascinating ..
Thank you Merlin Sheldrake
"Soil food web" is the next larger step from this also. I can't recall the scientist in Oregon who has written books on this biological research.
I studied this for biodynamics gardening horticulture work i did for many years.
Its about the interrelationship of all the microorganisms in the soil and how it all works together.
Minerals energetics and chemicals, nematodes, bacterias, fungi, plants roots. Its really amazing interactions and sharing and interchanging things.
Thank you for being the web because the web of the blooming threads we all know get entangled how to make something beautiful happen
The interviewer is so full of joy, it makes me happy to observe. He reminds me of the lady who runs the Wisdom from North channel.
What is the 'Wisdom from North channel please'????.
WISHED THE VOLUME WAS LOADER. THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW. An introduction to merlin and his insights
So exciting and wonderful to listen to you both! Have read your magnificent and inspiring book...thank you! We wait for you to continue!!
I stubbled upon your channel looking for fungi. A fantastic interview and I look forward to viewing more here. Thanks :)
In the mists of reading the book, I am enjoying the education as much as I can grasp. This was an amazing interview and the Newton tree cider story. fantastic interview thank you is all i can say.
❤❤❤🎉😂 anything that brings positivity and knowledge to this world 🌎 should be blessed and given out freely
Fascinating, thanks.
Your brother makes great music!
Love this!
Just bought Merlin's book. Gratitude for this inspiring interview :)
wow - this person or "symbiotic organism" is on a whole other level!
Amazing thank you.
I bought a copy of the book assuming that a book on fungi by someone called Merlin Sheldrake would be likely related the the author of another book I bought around 6 months ago called 'Science & Spirituality' by Rupert Sheldrake! I'm so lucky i took the gamble but as i haven't started it yet but after watching this it's next on the list after I finish 'Metazoa' by Peter Godfrey-Smith
PS A friend of mine gave one of our cats 1/2 a black dot LSD trip in the mid '70's & the cat absolutely LOVED it!!
There are individual Mushrooms.
I can hear them talking to me telepathically sometimes when I am foraging.
Some of them want to stay there and they tell me when they dont want to come with me.
And these Individual Mushrooms have a different peronality and voice, then when i al talking to the Mushroom oversoul.
Interviewer acting like a giggling schoolboy in love. That was funny.
It's adorable
I saw a tweet the other day and the person was asking if mushrooms are here for humans? Or if humans are here for mushies. I think ik the answer now.
So beautiful and amazing 🥰
No, the Mushroom has already told us what is the function of pcylocibin.
It allowes Hyperlight communication between fungal networks on different planets.
Which is why we see multidimensional information in the trip.
I wasn't known gay previously, but i think i gotta a crush on Merlin.
It's like Timothy Chalamet playing the role of an intellectual. A scientist, however, is unlikely to be flattered by the observation that he is "darling."
I have never experienced loss of Selfhood.
If anything it became stronger.
Fantastic interview, I love the part about the ants, someone should make a documentary about that.
BBC, 2005, "Life in the Undergrowth". It's pretty creepy watching at times, I feel for those ants. Amazing stuff.
@@blucat4 yes.
Captivating thoughts!!! But I wish? The sound would have been more --- "there"?? Maybe my phone?? But it as almost at a whisper level. The benefit of such??? My passion! To hear it? Called my attention? At a much higher level!!!! Wonderful!!!
bless you merlino
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 good show my bro
Being fair. Amazing
pocket full of notes
stars underneath the sky
where is the music
in your ears your eyes your heart…
where are the wheres of long forgotten days
and nights
empty of stars
empty of night
empty of dreams of tomorrows
dancing across the heavens
sliding through dissolving horizons
where sea and sky have disappeared into their reflections
and we only seem to appear
in this hush
a ballet of echoes
shimmering in each others eyes
this guy looks like a merlin. great talk, thanks
I’m sure you’ve heard this so many times it’s annoying but wow like father like son!
Great, now I hate my own name! How can you compete with Merlin Sheldrake?! Super interesting though. I'm buying that book!!
Looks like his father. Nice :))))
We are animated avatars driving around in human skin spaceships. What provides us with functionality... but the numerous intelligent microbes within this organism we call human.
Our health is determined by the balance of gut flora & fauna. Fungus overgrowth causes many disease conditions because there's a war on in your body.
Treat your fungus with respect.
Who's to say we aren't fungus having a dream we're a human?
Who do we think we are?
We are what we eat, digest & assimilate. Who helps that?
There's your answer.
he reminds of healthy version of syd barret who haven't went astray :D
wow
What a lovely hobbit.
we are all walking talking fungi then !
We’re just their incubators 🍄
Wood Wide Web....... to ............quantum intelligence.
He says that making it into a film wouldn't be enjoyable to watch, but the TV series The Last of Us is based on this. I kind of feel theLast of Us missed a trick (an even darker side), in that the cordyceps are effcting the bain, but as he describes it doesn't in ants, but detaches the brain and effects the muscles. So the Zombies in the Last of Us, could still be normal people trapped in their bodies, with the brain functioning but with o control of their zombies bodies. Fully aware of everything their bodies are doing, but helpless.
Consumption junction what's your function
The worms crawl in the worms crawl out I hope you have a better trip here though
🌚☄️❤️💫
Is fungus was in charge there would be no crisis
Aw nooo, looks like I was born too early to purchase a microbiome to increase social skills and wit 😣😅❤️
re Ant ... like a movie ... see- Alien ( sigourney weaver )
Dr Who!!
❗❗🇮🇹
Don't forget mushrooms are a giver fungus get us all in the end
Defiantly 1/6 of Frodos Baggins dopplegangers
If I was an ant I would be all high on mushrooms to
As an American I ate sushi what's up with that
I'm sorry I'm just jealous I need to get high on shrooms
Mushrooms are God's the bomb nukes are people's the bomb who do you trust
