You're doing great in my book!
I'm a mushroom farmer from India. So amazing to see the above ideas to reduce pollution around the world through mushrooms.
With India taking over China as the biggest producer and exporter of goods, it may be worth investing in the packaging part of it.
hey what type of mushroom do you grow?
So long as you don't use plastic like 1 of these people did.
We reduced waste process to grow mushrooms in plastic bags 🤦♂️
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Yes, dr.raymyco
is he on instagrm?
Sure,dr.raymyco
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health, they really helped me.
the importance of these technologies and efforts simply cannot be overstated. it is plain criminal that every single government is not actively encouraging these companies.
If I win the Powerball or some other kind of sweepstakes, I'm going to start going to these people and say to them Shut Up And Take My Money!
This is so important.
We are a small mushrooms production business in Morocco. I've seen these start-ups before, and I always enjoy seeing them growing. Thanks @InsiderBusiness for letting the people know that it's a huge part of the future economics 🍄
Hi @mushlab, I am very much interested in the idea, may I please ask you if I can reach out to you for more details on the fungi sector
@@varav595 anything you want, feel free to ask
@@MushLab Are you planning to export to the UK?
@@adulthumanfemale8666 right now, we still working on the local markets, a lot to do. But it would be a great solution if we could export some to you 🍄
Guys, phsycodelics and psychotropics are literally illegal in my coutry. It goes up to 30 years in prison. We grow gormets and edibles (not those ones hh). Y'all try to get the local "FBI" to join our discussion lol.
I can see this buisness has potential of biodegradable and environment friendly alternative of many harmful things.
This really needs to globalize👍
I've just had a oyster mushroom growing kit from an inspration in fungi, and then when we left it, my family were amazed! in how fast they were growing, and in just a week it was ready to harvest.
THE MUSHROOMS! WERE BIGGER THAN THE BOX ITSELF!!! and we had a good feast out of it! as a mushroom stir fry. It was real good too, so I recomend getting yourself one!
A friend of mine did this. His wife was so mad because he took over the bathtub with them. Unfortunately, his grew too well. Now everyone who comes over leaves with tubs of mushrooms! 🤣
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ god and Jesus love gays
Feels good to know that a person's body can go back and become a part of nature. green burials are a really good practice.
Ever hard or saw how Muslims buries their Dead , Muslims are doing it for more than 1400 years ago . They use a pieces of clothes, and just that, the most less carbon footprint ever in burial
Diogenes would appreciate the attempt of giving back to earth
@@maneoj46 I love being homeless
@@maneoj46 Indeed and your comment made me learn about Diogenes' philosophy. I also believe that man could learn a bit of humility and be unpretentious like other creatures of nature. We are really not that special in the evolutionary tree. Only we consider ourselves important enough to have pretentious burials and leave our mark. No offense intended to anyone.
The tibetans have been doing it for ages with sky burials about time we did something similair
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.

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.
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.
New information suggests gardeners should not use coffee grounds in their own garden
@@sarahburkinshaw8307 Ok, that's fair enough. Too much of anything really, just like people. My soil I grow a lot most of the year, so that nitrogen gets used up, so much so that I even plant a lot of beans and cycle them each year because legumes add nitrogen to the soil as well.
Happy to see those creative, dedicated, and wholesome people.
I hope nothing bad happens to them once they grow their businesses as it now happens to those promoting renewable energy.
The big companies won't go after them as big oil companies do now on those promoting alternative sources of energy, right?
Right?
Yesssss YEEESSSSS MORE MUSHROOMS!
All of the eco uses are great but just being able to eat more kinds of mushrooms is enough to make me happy!
@AskaMortician would LOVE the shroom coffin.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I'm always skeptical of these green companies, but if they _really can_ provide an alternative for considerably less money, *that* is what will trigger widespread adoption. The real world works on what is easiest and cheapest. Not on what is morally best.
If you manage to get both at the same time however, _that_ is what makes progress.
yeah, it's a sad, pragmatic world
In the last 50 years, we have seen the influence that educated consumers have had in the, ahem, growth of organically grown foods. More people recognize the improved taste and how they feel, and this growth in demand has led to growth in supply for what previously was very niche and considered something like 'silly' because it was associated with progressive leftists (i.e. hippies and such).
Yeah , people just blame government and other company for not supported this company
They forget if something cheap and easy and give a lot of profit people Will do the same thing
I recently wrote a story about an advanced civilization that created a fungus to replace concrete and eventually that fungus covered so much of the planet and was conducive it became sentient and watched as it was to late for its creators and they died to over population and pollution, but a human ended up vising the planet and befriending the fungi, that had eventually spread and turned into the entire planet. It was a really fun story and this video gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
Ok and drop the link to this fantastic sounding story...🙀 I love this concept so so much
@@thatsaweirdbug XP I might work on a game/book haha been thinking about it more and more. Ill try to remember to post it here if something ever happens haha.
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.
@@akkiko ooh I'm gonna check that out it sounds good as hell!!
Kudos to these companies and looking forward for more in the future 💖👌
I absolutely loved this video!!! So interesting! I would definitely choose an eco burial if at all possible.
This was SO interesting! I loved it!
I can't tell you how beautiful it is to see humans starting to get along with the earth again. We're on the right path, peeps. Let's do this
Thanks guys for delivering this !! it is amazing what fungi can do !!
I love to see innovation that utilizes nature!!!!
So informative. I learn a lot from this show. Thank you!
Keep up the great work!! My final architecture thesis was research into sustainable building material and mycelium was at the forfront of the research as an amazing alternative. I wish i had more time and resources to expand even further on the subject!!
Thank you much for these! ♡
0:22 that guy made me watch the entire video, shout to him
I was concerned that the mushroom medium was being contained in plastic bags. I saw the 'logs' which were not plastic and hope they do well. I just love that there are people who are trying to make a difference in our plutocratic western societies.
Such Brilliant innovations. Am totally mind blown by these amazing innovatiness from mushrooms and fungi.
Proud of those wonderful minds. I WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR BUSINESSES
- This has to be by far my favorite video ever.
This is such an amazing video, it made me feel good,
There are some hope for humanity,recycling,reuse,return to nature.
🙏🙏🙏.thanks you teams that made this vid.😍🤩
I really enjoy watching these shows so much they r educational too especially when u post these kinds of shows thanks so much for posting these....
INCREDIBLE!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND ENCOURAGING FOR THE FUTURE
Cool that we are able to use mushrooms beyond just eating them. Very interesting that they are such a versatile creature.
Great video! You should get in touch with Caitlin Doughty and make further videos about green burial methods and aquamation.
What an exciting video ! I really liked the part where they talk about using fungi as a replacement for packaging and leather materials. I was also quite intrigued about the green burial method and I hope that such an option will be available to deal with my remains once I leave this world.
Legislations on green funerals will be difficult in countries where the industry of traditional burial is a juicy and very tied business...
using fungi as a replacement for packaging and leather materials. It's the same principle as building buildings on farmland and then trying vertical farming
Isn't better to just use your remain as growing medium? Because it can cut cost more than just inventing new type of coffin.
Gov wont let it happen. They make way to much money off it.
When are you leaving this world?
Psilocybin trips happen to be some of the greatest experiences of my entire life
shrooms saved my life and took me to a whole new level
Several types of research has proven psychedelics as a beneficial substance in terms
Of medical use.
@@admin1361 I’ll recommend you to a store I got my psychedelics products dr_xzavier#
His been my supplier for a while now and his good he delivers anonymously
this is amazing. cant wait to see what this becomes in the future 💥
its great that people are finding uses for mushrooms, but considering that supply is going down atm due to labour shortages and harvesting being so labour intensive
idk its abit tricky
Got really excited by the coffin - that's amazing and I would absolutely love one.... I'm based in the UK, where cremation is common because there are few burial plots available, but I adore the idea and really hope it catches on 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Coffee ground can be used very well to grow mushrooms! Its an amazing sustainable solution and raw material! ☕️
Coffee grounds are good nitrogen source, but most species won't do well on only coffee. More like add 10% to your wood chips or straw, etc.
I worked at a donut shop and took back the coffee grounds for my garden at home.
Coffee ground can also be used to make gas. Which you can later use to roast the coffee
Oh I LOVE what they're doing with the mushrooms! These are all wonderful ideas! And I am definitely not a bacon person, as I've tried regular pork bacon and also turkey bacon and can't seem to eat it without feeling nauseous. But I think I would like MyBacon. Bacon made from mushrooms would be delicious!
I am so excited in anticipation of our amazing future of healthy clean food and resources that dont tax our beautiful planet. 🎉🎉🎉
Loved it. Thanks ❤
Thats why they are called "the fun guy", they bring the party no matter where or what we need at the moment....

would be nice to have a shoping website were many of thlse eco friendly companies gather to sell them so the buyers dont have to think about it to much were they come from...
This is absolutely amazing.
The impacts of traditional burials are not as harmful as the video suggests. Ammonia and Arsenic are no longer used for wood treatment, it is almost universally vinyl. Lead and mercury paints are BANNED in most countries, due to being acutely toxic.
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.
Anyway, great, excited to try the 🥓!
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
@@trygveevensen171 yes, but like anything, the more people adopt to purchasing it the cheaper it becomes to produce based on scale l
Idk, I'm partial to cremation myself, but that's apparently an incredibly energy intensive process, so, sigh... idk... straight "Dust to Dust..." as in, just our plain selves, into a hole with a shroud cover. ? Sounds about right actually.
It has the potential to quite literally save the world. Glad It's finally gaining momentum.

It's impressive how much can be recycled and substituted with mycelium! Not only does it give out alternatives to plastic and meat, it can even compost pretty much anything organic!
I love mushrooms! I am started lots of mushrrom this year in my allotment! I cant wait. I have always wanted to grow my own mushrooms. I am growing them in woodchips and straw... for wine caps and oysters mushrooms.
Mushrooms is really medicinal I eat it everyday and I always get mine from a verified mycologist called MYCOCAMY
Their official page is on Instagram
This world wide waste series gives me so much hope. Please continue 👍🏽
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.
I love they many ways mushrooms being innovated into multiple things and help save the environment
fascinating video! thank you
I hope the styrofoam replacement takes hold sooner then later. It can't be recycled easily (from what I know).
Any better alternative can replace former "not so eco friendly" products
But can you match the cost or even be lower than the competition 🤔
Hope that most businesses see the potential of these
I love mushrooms and meat, but I would be so happy to eat this mushroom bacon, how exciting.
This is excellent. Let's just hope it takes off in the US. It needs to be affordable too.
It's mostly in the US (west coast - OR and WA). It's a mushroom paradise here + Canada (BC). Read Paul Stamets 'Mycelium Running...', he is one of the pioneers of mycelium craze.
Would be nice to have a video about celulose/paper substituting plastic!

Coffee grounds are great for lots of stuff. I mix my leftover grounds into my potting soil and also use them to re-brew coffee a few times over to mix with my regular water for my plants. They love the extra nitrogen.
Fungus is the future.
Great video that helps people understand what mycelium is.
Excellent video! Happy to see someone talk about mushroom benefits outside of psilocybin. They’re extremely versatile! And tasty 😄
I'm just glad they no longer use horse manure.
As a child I got parasites that hurt my liver, from mushrooms in my country that were raised in manure.
I still eat mushrooms in small quantities because my liver can't handle certain foods and I cook the f*** out of them to be sure I never get liver parasites again.
As a vegan, this just makes MY soul glow with happiness😄❤😄
Mushrooms are animal btw, they dont grows their own sugar. They do not photosynthesis. They hail from animal kingdom species wise. They just efficient at using resources compared to other animals🤑🤑🤑
Amazing video, I hope fungal food alternatives really take off.
Would love too see more videos on mushrooms!
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!
Great video! I work in the waste management industry, and I love everything I saw. 'Nature's recyclers' is perfect to describe fungi. ❤ I look forward to more videos on sustainable waste management!
One of my subscriptions, Ffern, they use that packaging for their scents and I put it in my compost bin.
This is super genius thing i like this kind of thing
- Since you read all the comments, I love any kind of video that has to do with mushrooms 🍄 So please make more mushroom type videos. Thanks 😊 🫂
I've successfully grown my own mushrooms and I want a job at one of these places lol
Such a brilliant documentry. I love your channel. We Indians also wanna invent such cool and sustainable solutions.
Wow I would love to take part in the mushroom revolution!
The UK company Quorn has been producing meat substitutes from fungi for over 30 years now, they are pretty wide spread as far as I have seen. It's just a different technique, I think the fungal protein is produced in bioreactors
These are amazing ideas! Proud of all of these businesses!
I love seeing these videos from you guys! Please keep researching and creating this kind of content to spread the word about this important work that is reshaping our societies way of thinking for a green future ♡
Innovative ways to grow mushrooms.
Amazing. I want this for when I die
We need the Dark Souls Mushroom People to replace humans.

We are part of nature, as it has always been and always will be. More and more like minded human will have this kind of thinking of working in harmony with nature ❤️❤️❤️
Ecovative is just a short drive from me, and I will be tasting a mushroom bacon burger this weekend. Can’t believe I had no idea this was so close!!
Very nice concepts! My concern is what testing has been done on these mushroom byproducts - whether consumed, used for packaging, etc. - to ensure it is safe for consumption and/or long-term environmental safety?
.......it's mushroom? What do you want to test? How is it going to be worse for the environment than tanning animal skin or worse for health than actually carcinogenic animal products?
Why would you test mushrooms lmfao
Better than plastic either way
they- they're mushrooms?? what environmental safety concerns do you even have with mushrooms??
Replies are flipping out, but here in AUS we're very concerned about invasive species and biocontamination cuz we live on a big island... 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.
I just had to add this, "With all this mushroom going, I'm convince that The Last of Us world is upon us".

Mushrooms are amazing when you recognize all the utilities it provides with natural recycling abilities.
I think its a good idea to spread more ideas regarding sustainability. And also mushrooms are just cool.
An action figure made out of mushroom plastics would be pretty cool.
I've heard a lot of tripping stories, and they are very exciting,I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I have been looking for a legit seller to buy from.
Since I started micro dosing mushrooms, I have noticed a few thing for sure, better mental and physical awareness. My positivity and will power has rocketed as well. It's been really good.
