Fungi to the Rescue

I had the pleasure of listening to another fascinating TED talk on fungi by Paul Stamets today.  After this world wind tour of Paul Stamets' research on fungi, I will never see mushrooms in the same light again and can appreciate them way beyond featuring in my risotto!

Paul Stamets talk goes through analogies of fungi systems with internet systems, how fungi can help fight viruses and how they can be harnessed to fight climate change.  I know, I know, all of this sounds way too good to be true, but on listening you will find Stamets talk both compelling and highly persuasive, whilst of course being hugely educational.

Switch off the nonsense reality this and that on the telly, and have a listen to a perfect podcast to accompany you whilst cooking your evening meal.
