After reviewing this TED talk I feel we are underrating mushrooms as just a pizza topping.
- The same way we use mold to create antibiotics we can use fungus to create more and more powerful medicines. It has been seen that mushrooms can stave off viruses, flu, and pox diseases.
- Adding them to grow boxes or small garden will create better production and cut down of waste and increase recycling of nutrients.
- Mushrooms can be used in their pre-sporing phase as a way to kill off insect colonies that are trying to colonize your house.
- Adding mushrooms to debris creates a filter system that can dramatically cut back on coliform numbers in agriculture and water supplies.
- They have this amazing ability to produce enzymes that remanufactured hydrocarbons into carbohydrates, which basically can take fossil fuel waste and make it into sugar for plant growth.
- Green fuels can even be made using mushrooms as an intermediary.
- They're also really tasty on pizza.
