animals are a very useful part of sustainable agriculture practices. though i doubt the national trust promotes any of those... anyway i'd rather have meat from a permaculture farm than soy from a 1000 acre monoculture field sprayed with glyphosate...

I've long presumed that the natural, whole version of a plant medicine would be more gentle, well-rounded, and beneficial to us than isolated compounds -- no matter what the plant is. Every aspect of our existence seems to thrive on "balance" and "moderation" in all we do. Whole plants are a balanced form of medicine while isolated compounds are extremes. It does suck that it's hard to get consistency with it for the sake of science, though.
So this heritage org. Is to promote and preserve the heritage of the UK. At the same time, part of the promoting the old way of life is using peat for heating and cooking. Thus freeing the carbon into the atmosphere by burning the dried peat moss. Or how you said, the demand for peat moss for mushroom industry will move to Ireland or somewhere else, so that will nullify the ban of peat moss for use in mushroom producers from Uk. This decision makes no sense
Well... no. English Heritage has preserved several sites from the industrial revolution; It doesn't mean that they have endorsed the continued use of coal. Nor does the attempt to foster debate on the role of peat and peat bogs endorse the burning of peat on the grounds that it, like coal, is traditional.
Totally agree! As I wrote elsewhere, naturally fermented horse poop / straw mix makes for the best mushroom substrate one can think of. With 370,000 households in the UK owning at least one horse and the annual poop production of a 1000 lb horse estimated at around 9-10 tons, there simply is no reason to use peat for mushroom production.
Right, so they banned mushrooms before they banned beef. Makes PERFECT sense. Someone's probably just buying into weird conspiracy theories to make their irrational hatred of mushrooms seem justified.
Did you watch the video? The reasoning for the ban was to get it in the news, to get media coverage and exposure, to bring attention to the issue of using peat moss for mushroom cultivation. If the charity had just stopped buying from mushroom suppliers who use peat moss in their cultivation, hardly anyone new would know about this, and certainly nobody outside the UK. But ban mushrooms from their restaurants? Of course *everyone* is going to be curious. It's basically the same as what activists are doing when they throw paint on people wearing fur, or glue themselves to historic paintings (though these last two examples are truly awful ways to bring attention to issues and I wish they'd stop doing that shit). It's the shock value that gets media coverage, and media coverage is what brings national or worldwide attention to a cause.

"The production, transport and processing of oil and gas resulted in 5.1 billion tonnes (Gt) CO2-eq in 2022.3 May 2023" (from IEA, an already biased source). But we should care about the 31 million tonnes since 1990 exactly why? The restaurants are far down in the market chain and banning mushrooms from restaurant are not actually making any difference except decreased demand for the product... why hurt consumers instead of regulating even if it means increase in pricing? Why is the world like this?
Politics has hijacked many fields of science and are now pushing absolute bullshit. The only carbon that matters is carbon from fossil fuels, any carbon released from living things breaking down other living or recently living things is purely carbon neutral and part of the natural carbon cycle. There is even evidence that releasing fossil fuel carbon is actually good for the environment (our current levels are very low compared to most of earth's history and this is putting a lot of stress on plants, with more CO2, plants can better tolerate arid conditions thus reversing desertification, and increasing food production). But any scientist that publishes or even speaks about it risks losing their job due to an extreme left wing ideological bias in universities. Same reason why we see a resurgence of Marxism in the western world, and we've got medical professionals prescribing puberty blockers/cross sex hormones/genital surgery to children that only serve to make the medical industry richer while permanently destroying the mental and physical health of any child they manage to confuse into agreement regardless if they are really trans, or gay, or straight equally. Their hasn't been a dysfunctional ideological bias in science this bad since Nazi pseudoscience, Soviet pseudoscience, and 19th century white supremacist pseudoscience where Jews, anyone that owned anything even a single chicken, and POC were on the chopping block respectively. With the current paradigm of woke pseudoscience, it's all white people, cis people both gay and straight, and religious people that are on the firing line. My bet is that wokism kills a minimum of half a billion people before the century is out if not billions NEVER "trust science", always verify it.
So when I dumped all my casing soil ie. peat moss, oyster shell bits, into the garden for over a decade, it turned into, ,,..a well. it turned into peat moss and oyster shell bits - O My. I'm a bad and confused man to boot.
Note: its NOT just about the environmental impact in a carbon sense. It's about the habitat loss that, like losing wetlands, is absolutely NOT easily healed or replaceable. Honestly, anything that brings the challenges of our large scale harvesting of peat is a net good. Is this the area of largest impact to start? Uuuhhhh.... no. I kinda doubt it, anyway 😅 But still, it's actually difficult to find peat FREE options for gardening etc, and I'm glad it's getting attention.
Make a video on potential differences between mycelium and whole fruit, like Paul Stamets company uses only mycelium. Can’t be as good, right? He says it’s better for immunity than fruiting bodies. Hmm.. ?

Yes we need to be responsible when taking from the land we replace to replenish but profit waits for no one. 🤔 🍄
It sounds a lot like a bunch of old rich guys with more land and money than wits deciding to ban something because they don't fully understand it while believing they 'know better' due to having a stake in an old and prestigious nature-focused institution.
I live in D.C., and have tried the artificial one. It's very anxiety inducing. It has led me to understood that the quality of mushrooms has to do with the expansiveness of its entourage effect. Without the entourage effect, the negative aspects are much more pronounced. It really says something that the study results have been positive, despite using the worst version possible.
Oh hey neighbor! I didn't know DC had synthetic psilo floating around. I imagine it's possible your set and/or setting poorly affected your experience too, considering how important they are and how differences in set and setting can cause wild variations in one's experience, despite everything else being the same (dose, batch, etc.).
@@MissBlackMetal I have only microdosed. It was definitely the mushrooms themselves. We live near Baltimore, so it's not surprising I came across them at some time.
Peat moss is a non renewable resource the takes thousands of years to develop AND REQUIRES the destruction of an entire ecosystem that WILL NEVER RETURN IN OUR LIFETIME. Companies around the world are going to have to find different materials.
As a landscaper living in Ireland, the use of peat has been a topical debate for a long time now for horticultural use here, so I'm not overly surprised to hear this. Looking at the comment section, many people think this is a direct attack on the mushroom industry, which I don't see as that. The fact that they are a governing body responsible for nature conservation it is within their interest not to support the process of damaging peatland especially when peat moss is avoidable. Personally, I never use peat moss and I know many landscapers who avoid using it as it is only cheap, but not necessary as there are many readily available alternatives. I guess the motive is to get growers to find suitable and sustainable alternatives.
THANK YOU people don’t get that peat moss is like a rainforest, it doesn’t just “grow back” they take centuries to form. People don’t understand that it’s a non-renewable resource.
if only 10% of the psilocin passes the primary liver metabolism, will a reversible MAO inhibitor, like Syrian Rue alkaloids or moclobemid be making a Psilocybe Ayahuasca? I don't think I need really strong doses anymore, but if you can get potent effects from a 1 mg dose of psilocybin and 50 mg of harmaline, it would be interesting to know how similar to Ayahuasca dmt you can get 4-OH-Dmt... just a thought..
I used to be a member of the National Trust, ironically nearly all the menu includes meat and dairy.....hmmm. Maybe they should consider getting mushrooms from another supplier as well as reducing meat and dairy from their menus?
Without listening to this I appreciate the ban! People might still find something to eat after the 10 corporations who own the world's food supplies collapse. Ps. Don't over harvest my friends,take what you need ,leave the spores
Btw, is must be the definition of irony that the UK doesn't have a sufficient supply of tea waste 6:12 Perhaps a reform in how tea waste is handled is in need?
Imagine an entire agaricus farm covered in Orbeez... 😅 the destruction of bogs and wetlands is really bad though, unless you're growing outdoors with totems you will have a negative impact on the environment.
Hmm... I wonder what the effect would be if synthetic psilocybin were combined with whole mushrooms. The ingestion of the later would provide the entourage, while the former would remain more precisely controllable.
consistent variable plus inconsistent variable in total, equals inconsistent variable. if testing cheap, quick and with high accuracy... consistency can be easily achieved with whole mushroom. then, how to navigate the complexity of multiple compound quantities(idk if science is that efficient yet).
don't need to ask the mice, i'll tell you upfront. yes. different. i love how you nailed it... how to shore up variability? on demand cheap and effective testing... adjust accordingly.
They haven’t banned mushrooms, they’ve removed the mushrooms grown with peat from their menus. Trouble is in the U.K. that’s pretty much all mushrooms because hardwood-grown ‘gourmets’ aren’t widely grown or used. If non-peat grown mushrooms were widely available and consumed, they would most likely put those in the menu! The peat ban will absolutely happen in the U.K. there is zero doubt.
Peat moss isn't particularly renewable, and peat bogs are some of the world's best carbon sinks. While peat moss doesn't take as long to form as coal or oil, it does take thousands of years. It's being harvested far more quickly than it can form. Scaling up the use of mushrooms is wonderful: they are awesome meat substitutes, healthy, and really tasty. But as long as button, cremini, and portobello mushrooms are so much more prevalent than other types of mushroom, it seems a bit irresponsible to encourage massive increases in mushroom use without making every effort to prevent greater use from creating environmental damage. Scale matters. Peat on mushrooms may or may not be that much of a problem now, but to grow enough mushrooms to become a common staple in people's diets--which is the goal--it definitely will be.
@@crono3339Right, we can even die if we drink too much plain water and losing too many electrolytes, like it was the case with several marathon runners. But that may be too complex to understand for some people here...
You know, you could just ban the use of peat moss and not the damn mushrooms themselves! This sound pretty much like the EU directives when we joined EU. But the paradoxical thing is that Great Britain isn't even a part of it anymore. I'm from Sweden and I remember I heard there was stupid rules such as that a banana has to have a specific bend and that strawberries have to have a certain red color or whatever to be sold in supermarkets. I don't know if it's true though.
Hi Tony, you do such a good job with this show! I have a suggestion for a topic I would like to know the answer to. I recently learned about oxalate toxicity in many plants, as well as lectins and several otters, and while I can give up plants, the mushrooms are another problem. I mean the functional mushrooms in your ultimate mushroom complex specifically. I don’t add it to coffee, because I feel better without coffee anyway. I just use it as a coffee substitute. After I heard Sally K Norton, author of TOXIC SUPERFOODS explain what trouble she dealt with because she consumed a high oxalate diet for most of her life, my own strategy is to steer clear of them! But what about my fav mushrooms? Sally is very approachable and is an authority on the research on oxalates so I guess you could start with her. 😊🍄
Before it's even discussed.. natural mushrooms are the best for medicinal reasons. Just like weed, everyone pays attention to the main psychoactive chemical, but won't think about or study the rest of the compounds. Edit: yes, full spectrum 👍.
i Love mushrooms. I also love Truth. It would be beneficial for you and everyone within this space to actually learn the truth behind the climate scam and to STOP promoting falsehoods regarding animals, plants, humans and their so called relationship to a climate that has always changed. Dancing around the truth lacks courage AND benefit.
If you're too skeptical and mistrust anything you won't find truth, but instead people that simply make money with mistrust. They're exactly what they criticize but only on the other side. This topic is big business on the internet.
Hmmmm. Funny. Seems like my comment has "disappeared"... well, anyway: I used to live in the UK. Very nice people but there is a big issue with their mass media who have always had a big problem telling fact from fiction. One of the consequences is that people in the UK often mistake the feel-good symbolic actions for behavior that actually has long-term beneficial consequences. Pick any popular subject (long-term weather patterns, ecological or societal issues), and you will find that the most hare-brained activism will actually gather some support, which then gets picked up by said media, resulting in a dysfunctional feedback-loop. . As for the mushroom panic of the NT, people literally just need to stand on the Cliffs of Dover and look across the Channel to see that aged horse poop makes for the best substrate one can think of. No peat involved! But I suppose dramatic overreacting is just more popular with a younger crowd than a level-headed approach to the problem and a bit of common sense. . Literally minutes after my comment, this popped up in my feed: ua-cam.com/video/GLKnmmbUTkg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
