Part VI of Paul Stamets interview with Daniel Wahl Paul offers a series of examples of mushrooms that have traditionally been cultivated for their healing properties. He speaks about the Earth based knowledge of medicine women of the past who supported us during our evolutionary journey.
In the second half of an extended talk at SAND 18, Paul Stamets, author, mycologist, medical researcher and entrepreneur, tells stories of the early years of research into psychoactive mushrooms, and describes a number of species and their characteristics, in particular psilocybes.
Our habitats provide us with innate immunity. . As habitats are destroyed, zoonotic diseases can emanate from stressed ecosystems to us. .
The mushroom researcher answers questions about the beginnings of fungi science and how mushrooms and mycelium are helpful to maintaining human health and habitats.
This week on Semaine, meet Paul Stamets. Mould has saved us once, and could do so again. Paul knows this more than any. The godfather of fungi, his three decades in mycology trace a search that dates back 650 million years (Paul loves to deadpan that fungi are “our ancestors”).
Can plants help people access the intelligence in nature—the “mind of nature”—that we must learn to understand in order to supersede our ecologically destructive habits? This panel features Jeffrey Bronfman, founding member of the União do Vegetal church of the United States; Paul Stamets,...
Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for millennia by several cultures from Europe to Mesoamerica. More than 116 species have been identified thus far in the genus Psilocybe alone.
Leading mycologist Paul Stamets shares his work exploring the diverse role medicinal mushrooms may have in activating our immune systems and helping treat cancer, to new data supporting the role of fungi in biosecurity and the health of the bees that pollinate our planet.
