🌿Before any plants were taller than three feet, and before any animal with a backbone had made it out of the water, the earth was dotted with two-story-tall, silo-like fungi called prototaxites.
🐲
Scientists identified the Godzilla of fungi – a giant, prehistoric fossil that has evaded classification for more than a century. A chemical analysis has shown that the 6-metre-tall organism with a tree-like trunk is a fungus that lived between 420 million and 350 million years ago, at a time when millipedes and worms were among the first creatures to make their home on dry land.
🌏
As you might imagine from their ancient origins, fungi have played a critical role in shaping Earth’s terrestrial biosphere over the last billion years. The first plants to emerge onto land 500m years ago formed intimate partnerships with fungi. Lacking roots, these early plants relied on their fungal partners to grow inside them and spread outwards into the primordial mineral soil. In a process known as biological weathering, fungal hyphae would secrete organic acids to dissolve rocks and extract nutrients held within. In return, the plants would transfer nutrients produced through photosynthesis to the fungi. 🍄
It fun to think that fungi were the forefathers of our beautiful planet!!

⭐️ We will got around to watching How to change your mind on Netflix.

🌈Based on his 2018 book How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence, the series offers a God’s eye view of the creation, prohibition and resurgence of four different psychedelic drugs: L*D, psilocybin, M**A and mescaline.

🍄The book was an absolute gamechanger, correcting some of the more virulent myths about psychedelics and opening the door to their potential ability to treat everything from depression to PTSD.

🚴🏿 Bicycle Day on April 19 honors not the two-wheeled mode of transportation, but the colorful ride taken by Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman who accidentally discovered L*D 74 years ago. In search of new medicines, Hoffman was trying to stabilize lysergic acid, a derivative of a fungal compound used in a migraine medicine. He ended up synthesizing a compound called lysergic acid diethylamine, or L*D. Later, he accidentally exposed himself to it and felt dizzy with hallucinations. On April 19, 1943, he tested it on himself again and needed a lab assistant to help him home, via bicycle, leading to a memorable ride.

🍄Our fungi and plant friends hold much knowledge and the their true power is finally coming to light again.

❤️We would love to know your thoughts on this series if you’ve managed to watch it?

📝Language. While it has long been thought of as a distinguishing factor between humans and other animals, making us unique on planet Earth, recent research has shown many other species, such as bees and dolphins, also possess the ability to communicate.

🔬Now, a new study, published in The Royal Society and conducted by Professor Andrew Adamatzky at the University of the West of England, asks a novel question: can mushrooms talk to each other? Do they too have a language?

🧫And while the findings of his initial study are by no means definitive, the early answer appears to be yes.

📋Professor Adamatzky’s lab used a mathematical analysis on the electrical signals that fungi send to each other through their hyphae, underground tubes connecting together the mushrooms in a fungal colony, analogous to human nerve cells or the roots of a plant. In the analysis, the lab found that the electrical signals pulse in patterns that are stunningly similar in structure to human languages.

🍄In fact, in the four species of fungi tested, the researcher found that the electric pulses could be organized into “trains” that resemble human words, and that a “lexicon,” or vocabulary, of “up to 50 words” appears to be present.

💌There also appears to be patterns to the order in which the “words” are used, which would strengthen the idea that there is a “language” at play following a set of rules. In other words, there was a distinct syntax.

🌩There were several other interesting findings presented by Professor Adamatzky. First, in a previous study, his lab found that when an environmental change is induced via mechanical, chemical or optical stimulation, the fungi modify the characteristics of their electrical “spike trains.” Does this indicate that one section of the fungal colony is communicating the changes to the rest of the colony? Could it be sharing information about food or injury? While impossible to say at this point, it is an intriguing hypothesis. But if this were the case, it would be a clear sign of fungal intelligence.❤️

🍄 The roots of Santa’s style, and his bag of goodies, sleigh, reindeer, bizarre midnight flight, distinctive chimney-based means of entry into the home, and even the way we decorate our houses at Christmas, seem to lead all the way back to the ancestral traditions of a number of indigenous arctic circle dwellers — the Kamchadales and the Koryaks of Siberia, specifically. (So it’s true — Santa really does come from the North Pole!)
🍄 And like so many other fantastical tales, it all originated with some really intense ‘shrooms. On the night of the winter solstice, a Koryak shaman would gather several hallucinogenic mushrooms called amanita muscaria and them to launch himself into a spiritual journey to the tree of life (a large pine), which lived by the North Star and held the answer to all the village’s problems from the previous year.
🍄 They are seriously toxic, but they become less lethal when dried out. Conveniently, they grow most commonly under pine trees (because their spores travel exclusively on pine seeds), so the shaman would often hang them on lower branches of the pine they were growing under to dry out before taking them back to the village. As an alternative, he would put them in a sock and hang them over his fire to dry. Is this starting to sound familiar?

🔬 Scientists have found evidence that humans may have used antibiotic agents against disease as far back as 2,000 years ago.

🔮In 1928, Dr. Alexander Fleming returned to his lab following a vacation to find that a type of fungus called penicillium had contaminated one of the petri dishes containing a bacterium he had been studying (staphylococci). The bacteria all around the fungal mould had died. Fleming then analyzed the mould and found that it produced a chemical substance that killed bacteria, which he named penicillin. Several other scientists ran with that initial discovery, refining the process and applying it to medicine as a mass-produced medication. There are now dozens of types of penicillins as well as numerous other chemical classes of antibiotics.

🩺 Each time a person uses an antibiotic for treatment, the chances of developing resistant bacterial strains increase, and these might eventually develop into superbugs. The term ‘superbug’ refers to any microorganisms that have become resistant to treatment with common anti-infective agents that were previously effective against them. Although superbugs have been more of an issue in hospitals, there are increasing outbreaks within community environments.

🧬Back in 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that within a decade, antibiotic-resistant bacteria could make routine surgery, organ transplantation and cancer treatment life-threateningly risky — and spell the end of modern medicine as we know it.

🪱 There's a wild and wonderful world that remains hidden for most of us — at least most of the time. It's an amazing ecosystem filled with fascinating creatures interacting with one another to create an intricate, dynamic web of life. And it's right under our feet: the soil ecosystem!

🍁Many organisms make up this ecosystem, and some of the most important ones are the fungi. Healthy soil is alive and teeming with an array of fungus species, each playing a vital role in its environment.

🪵 In particular, some of these first-on-the-scene soil fungi have the ability to break down tough plant components, such as the lignin and cellulose in woody plant residues — substances that other microbes aren't able to tackle. Once the initial decomposition occurs, the rest of the players, including various fungi, bacteria, and other microbes — are able to complete the process, eventually creating nutrient-rich humus.

🍄 Soil is much more than just sand, silt and clay. It is a complex system critical to our health, well-being, and survival. Healthy soil is fundamental to healthy life on earth!

🤎Scientists from the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) will set out on a journey to map out one of the final frontiers of uncharted knowledge on the planet: the fungal networks that basically make up our planet's circulatory system.

🤎The project will use machine learning to identify fungal biodiversity hotspots and take 10,000 samples from these ecosystems over the next year and a half. Beginning in April 2022, the first data set will take place in the Patagonia highlands. The Canadian tundra, the Mexican plateau, the Sahara, the Negev desert, Kazakhstan’s steppes, Tibet’s grasslands, and Russia’s taiga are all potential mycorrhizal hotspots.

🤎Once mapped out, SPUN hopes to identify the underground networks most at risk due to fertilizers, pesticides, deforestation, and urbanization. With this information, plans can be made to preserve and protect these areas. Understanding and conserving fungi ecosystems can help fight climate change and preserve Earth's biodiversity.

☀️VEGAN SCHNITZEL AKA FRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS by the magical @carolinagelen - one of my favorite ways to serve these wonderful mushrooms✨ Ingredients 1 pound oyster mushrooms 1 1/2 cups flour, plus more as needed Garlic powder, salt, paprika or cayenne The liquid of one can of chickpeas, slightly whipped 2 cups breadcrumbs, plus more as needed Neutral oil for frying, I used sunflower seed oil Instructions 1. Mix the flour, a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and paprika or cayenne in a bowl — you can eyeball this, I trust you. Dip the mushrooms in the flour dredge and make sure they’re fully coated in flour. 2. Heat up the oil bath. Whip up the chickpea liquid a bit, then add a pinch of salt to it, plus more of the spices we used earlier. Dip each mushroom in the liquid, then in the breadcrumbs, and fry it until golden brown on each side. You don’t have to time this, just make sure the color is right. Remove the excess oil using a paper towel and serve right away. You’re welcome 👌🏼
