I'm so happy and proud this kind of content is going mainstream. We're on our way to understand that everything is connected on this planet (and beyond, probably).

I am a simple man. I see Paul Stamets , I click like.

i wish youtube would show me more videos like this

This was so satisfying to watch. To see compassionate professionals from different, seemingly unrelated fields, studying hands on togetha, is such a breath of fresh air. They're learning from the best🌍❤so very gratuitous🙏for the documentry too. Well done👏👏👏

I tried composting used motor oil some years ago - I mixed about a quart of oil with plenty of fine Douglas Fir sawdust. Then I inoculated it with finished compost from an ordinary kitchen compost heap and inoculated it with soil from the forest floor. It was covered and allowed to sit for a year with occasional stirring - very much what they did in this video on a micro scale. I was surprised that it worked, after a year the oil was gone! The caveat is you have to have the space, and I'd prefer everyone recycle their motor oil - some types have toxic additives, and the more that gets recycled the less new oil has to be extracted, but it taught me how resilient soils can be if they're treated properly. Our forests are a miraculous ecology from deep underground to the tops of the trees.....looks like these guys are developing some fantastic tools for bioremediation. Thanks you all!

I think this should be the standard of peak science documentaries, it's just so good.

Why is it, that every person who works with fungi seems to be ethereal?!

It was a super scientific, interesting documentary about mycelium, mushroom usages for returning soil health after soils polluted by pollutants

At last some real honest science being done to support our existence, enhance our relationship to our world and restore biodiversity. Thank you to all those carrying out this essential work.❤❤

The problem with human built networks is that we like direct connections made with as few resources and at the cheapest financial cost. Clearly, this is not what mycelium is concerned with. But definitely what holds us back from true greatness.

This stuff is so fascinating to me. Long after humans are gone this will be the stuff that heals the Earth.

I'm studying Physics but I keep falling in love with other branches of science! Mycology has never looked so tempting

MYCELIUM is the key to the LIFE on Earth. More people need to be aware of this fascinating science.

I'm growing some mushrooms at home, it's so cool to watch the whole process over time. From the mycelium spreading to the exudate forming into primordia then pins and finally watching them bloom into full mushrooms. The mycelium looks and smells wonderful

The thumbnail drew me in after I had just finished watching Ze Frank's video on slime mold. I was captivated throughout this documentary and got smacked by what scientists have achieved so far. Thanks for getting me started down the rabbit hole!

I will always find it frustratingly fascinating how there are people who genuinely care about this only planet, home, we have and want to take care of it in the present as well as in the future for our generations to come. And then there are the greedy, scumbags who look past anything that doesn’t involve making profit out of something, even at the expense of our planet’s well-being. All for the sake of money.

Fungus for plants is like the good bacteria in our gut. The host provides a habitat and the colonizing organism boosts the host's nutrient uptake.

I did not want this documentary to end. It was amazing, in terms of the content and presentation. Thank you for sharing. 🍄

As if the magic of the science wasn't enough, the music, film, and narration are superb!

They feed the plants in perfect symbiosis to create oxygen and atmosphere or life anywhere~ neat
