How mushrooms clean up the planet (and other fungi powers)

Do you think we can use fungi to clean up the planet?

[@MTTT1234]

Because Funghi don't need UV lights like plants to grow. Funghi only need moisture and organic material to grow. So they can grow in dim lights or total darkness.

Hi Jo, you are right, the pictures shown at 0:05, 0:38, 0:57, and 8:01 are slime moulds - which used to be considered fungi, but now are classified to be part of the Kingdom Protista. We apologize for the mistake and thanks for noticing :)!

Fungi can also be used to bury the dead! From mushroom coffins to mycelium suits, the body can decompose much quicker and without polluting the soil with heavy metals and other pollutans (existing in ordinary coffins). This method can be useful in countries like Greece, where cemeteries are running out of space. A faster decomposition means graves are emptying faster making more space for the new dead.

It is said trees communicate with another thru the fungi that connect them. But, I think Fungi are doing the communication for themselves, in their own interest. They use the trees for energy, sugars made by the trees, given to fungi in exchange for water and minerals. But like the nerves in animals, it's the fungi thru their hyphen, that connect up the trees as part of a network, as nerves do with muscles, senses, organs and our brain. It's the nerves and the brain (consisting of the same sort of nerve cells) that contain intelligence and -in humans- consciousness. When trees seem to help each other, like covering over cut-off tree stumps, it's the fungi giving the signal to make that cover (and it's both in their and trees' interest that no bugs or pathogens can enter the network thru that stump) Enfin, I find it's the fungi making use of trees as energy generator instead of the other way round. Fungi aren't as visible as Big trees, so we think, tree must be the dominant partner. Yet they're not.

I used to know a guy who was obsessed with tractors. He knew everything about them and he talked about them incessantly. One day I told him it was weird and he threw away all his tractor books and he never mentioned tractors again. Years later we woke up at a houseparty because the host was shouting that her parents were due back soon and the house was a mess. My friend stood up and began inhaling deeply. He inhaled all the ash, smoke and the spilled alcohol then he went outside and exhaled it all into the air. Everyone was amazed and they asked how it was possible. He explained that he was an ex tractor fan.
