    am I misunderstanding? Coffee grounds are very good for soil. They add nitrogen to them, which makes it easier for plants to grow bigger. In fact, you should use your own coffee grounds at home in your garden if you have one. Same with eggshells and milk that's expired.

    • @sarahburkinshaw8307
      @sarahburkinshaw8307 Рік тому +15

      There's mixed evidence on that. Too much nitrogen can actually damage plants - an overload can inhibit plant growth. And also unlike what the guy in the video said, coffee grounds aren't actually that acidic. The problem is the leftover caffeine in them is actually bad for plant growth. Plants with caffeine evolved that way to inhibit other plants from growing nearby.

    Reminds me of a manga called Metro Labyrinth (Meikyuu Metro) where the world is engulfed in mycelium, and monsters exist with fungal cores, and humans lost technology and became a fantasy medieval tier of technology where mycelium is a part of everything, including equipment and spells and such, and its a part of their body.
    So you grow a sword out of your flesh and it becomes an extension with properties of metal, but looks like mycelium. You heal by creating mycelium orbs of which you eat to boost regeneration, etc.
    Humans hunt monsters and eats their core, gaining power.

      I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

      If we're on the topic of fictional stories involving sentient fungi there's a BL sci-fi book called Little Mushroom: Judgement Day written by a Chinese author about an Earth whose magnetic poles vanished and everything ended up mutating. Fast-forward 100 years, Earth has become hostile and humanity is on its last legs. The story follows a little mushroom who consumed the body of a human and gained the ability to mutate into one and ventures into a human establishment trying to find his spore. Way smarter than me on several topics but an amusing read nonetheless given the title.

    The only way companies will start replacing all their plastic packaging with mushrooms, if they owned the mushroom farm and process.
    I had a boss who was all about profits, about about a year working for him I crunched some numbers and realized our customers have a high chance of getting damaged product from our current shipping process, but he kept the packaging, he refused to change because redesigning packaging would be expensive. Until I gave him the numbers he would lose if he didn't change, customer acquisition, damaged returns and retaining customers. He changed the next day.

    That's all great stuff you got going on there 👍, that said, a....note on the casket issue? ie: the slow uptake issue, perhaps growing some sort of closure mechanism, straps or something, bc, like I'm not even precious about dying, or grossness of the circle of life, but still, the open,
    ill-fitted, unsecured casket top.... I mean, that's just not going to appeal to a whole lot of people, on multiple levels.
    The Simple vanity for the most part, or, the chance of falling out in the process of the funeral in an unfortunate misstep of a Pallbearer? Let's be honest was my first thought.

      I just can't see the advantage of a mycelium casket over an untreated wooden one. It might degrade faster, but it's also more fragile and probably more resource intensive as well (because you'd need thick walls). Not to mention the price

If Amazon started shipping every package with fungi-based packaging, you'd better believe they'd need to prove it was not a threat to AUS environment - like cardboard.

      Good! You would enjoy a talk by Paul Stametz. In rich soil, there is 8 miles of mycelium. It is like the earth's internet. It will direct nutrients to the tree that needs it. Mycelium sends information in both directions. Plant oyster mushrooms in the water run off from the stock yards, and in 24 hours, all the e-coli is gone. Oh, so much more!

      Every single mushroom species is different and you could be critically allergic to the common button/portabella mushroom but able to eat literally every other species. FYI. If you can you should be able to obtain different species and rub them on your skin and then if you don't react onto the edge of your nostrils to test how you react if its that kind of allergy.
