Maybe there’s a way we can get a group together to deploy the right mushroom to clean the biosphere ..I can’t fund something like this but maybe there’s a way to get a bunch of people together to help fund this and deploy it before it’s too late.
I don’t have the time right now to look into this but here’s a link for more info if anyone’s interested:
EDIT: I just found this article with a reference list of mushrooms and what they degrade: https://www.realmushrooms.com/mycoremediation-mushrooms-pollution/#11qmk
We're gonna need something that can degrade vinyl chloride, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate, and isobutylene which are heavily UV resistant so they are going to take awhile to degrade naturally. I haven't taken chemistry in a few years, but just by looking at the reference sheet, I'm thinking the oyster mushroom and king tube mushrooms might be the best contenders.
Then there is the good ole' HEMP plant. Huh, legalized in 2018 like someone knew.

ThanQ!!! And all Glory to God who provides everything we need even in dark times!
Thanks, Trump!
Yeah, thanks to TRUMP. Interesting though, thanks for sharing. I wonder how feasible this would be compared to the fungi. Apparently one would have to get a license to grow it in Ohio: https://agri.ohio.gov/divisions/hemp-program
Came here to say……. Weed, cheaper more effective.
Because this IS the CLIMATE CHANGE they have been talking about.
Here people thought it was about carbon emissions, when in reality it was toxic chemicals in an intentional effort to poison the planet.
This is deep state climate change
That's exactly what I was thinking! They are purposefully destroying our biosphere so they can charge us to fix the problem, or "modern problems require modern solutions". Such bs.
Paul Stamets is the master of mycelium
I see on the website that he has a lot of products for sale but I can't find much about mycoremediation. His team is doing some initiatives to offset cow farts, lowering carbon footprints, but not much else. They probably have to focus on climate change in order to get grants.
His team did a mycoremidiation of a pile of soil contaminated with diesel fuel you can watch on YouTube. He injected the pile with oyster mushrooms and after a couple weeks there was massive mushrooms growing on it and the diesel was all gone. They do it with oil in the Amazon too. Just look up paul stamets mycoremediation and the video comes up as part of a presentation.
He went into great detail about it in at least one of his talks. There was some massive toxic contamination in the area he lived in and the EPA(?) came to ask him why is property was not only unaffected but thriving. He showed them everything. The fungi ate and broke down all the contaminants. I don't remember the details now but it's definitely out there
PA is known for mushrooms.
Good to know. Hopefully those mushroom growers know what to do.
That area would be good mushroom territory.
2 things.
I was wondering about this idea for remediation as I fell asleep last night. I recall oyster mushrooms can clean up nuclear waste and are safe to eat. So they don’t just collect nasty stuff, they break it down. So amazing.
Is this why mushrooms are so healing? Eating up the nasty stuff in your body like heavy metals and toxins that cause the disease? Makes “terrain” theory make more sense.
You are correct! I just saw that they used oyster mushrooms in california to clean 40 miles of toxic ash in this article: https://thred.com/tech/can-fungi-become-a-pillar-for-toxic-waste-clean-ups/
I guess we'd have to figure out WHICH specific type of mushroom could clean up these specific chemicals.
You're definitely right, they are healing and they break down everything! So critical to our existence..I haven't heard of terrain theory but I am definitely going to look into that
There is hope!
When everthing is from the earth, you can garuntee that there is a way to clean it up and take care of it in a healthy way!
Mycelium is everywhere already
You are correct. Although, if we added it strategically in certain places, it could speed up the rate of breakdown faster than waiting on nature to do it already. There is a lot of issues with topsoil and it doesn't necessarily have the microorganisms and decay that it should especially if there is a lot of farming in those areas. I think we would essentially need to add mycelium to the topsoil in those areas to bring back the nutrients so it can break down the chemicals.
What a coincidence I just started a mycology farm
That's awesome. I've always been interested..How did you go about starting it and what is your vision with it?
Well first I work a full time job and I’m bank rolling the equipment and resources, I also have training from college in laboratory work.
If your interested I recommend watching YouTube videos and reading books to familiarize yourself with the process Paul Stamets has good books
The ultimate goal is to establish a solid side hustle and passive income, we intend to sell gourmet mushrooms to people and restaurants etc to start but then transition into education. Lastly we are retrofitting shipping containers and intend to help make it so that farming can be more accessible to the average person even if you live in a tough climate or can’t afford a piece of land. We see this as our ultimate goal because my business partner and I both recognize the growing threat of centralized food and medicine even now as they poison and destroy the small farms
Just wanted to say love this and willingness to help.
The problem is if any liberals get their hands on the mushrooms, neither the mushrooms or liberals will make it to the cleanup site. In fact, the liberals won't make it out of their parents' basement till all the mushrooms are gone!
yeah exactly..maybe if we can just get the information to the locals rather than the politicians, they can take care of it themselves rather than relying on do-nothing deceptocrats
they've also devised many different forms of bacteria to consume different kinds of chemicals, I imagine the situation isn't entirely hopeless if we can just keep the DS from twisting the knife around too much.
Yeah, I've been looking for a nonprofit that specializes in mycoremediation and they are all littered with climate change propaganda. They're more interested in getting tax free donations rather than doing anything of scale, if anything at all.
Oyster mushrooms (P. ostreatus) are really incredible for this sort of application. They can be trained to breakdown different things including cigarette butts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCAX9P50SNU
edit: If anyone really wants to learn more about environmental remediation using fungi, the guy in the video above has a 600 page book that was written for that purpose called 'Radical Mycology' Personally I find it a bit on the hippy side in some areas and I get tired of all the evolutionist bs. But there is lots of good information in it too.
Great idea but mushrooms not gonna help our atmosphere
mushrooms are made of mycelium which acts like a filter for soil, water, air. So yes they would help because they always have. The link I posted talks about how they’ve been doing it to clean up toxic waste
I think it's an excellent idea. Archived for future reference. Someone needs to start a business growing mushrooms and selling the spores for cleanup purposes.
yeah maybe there's like a type of spore spray they can spray all over everything..like the exact opposite of weed killer lol
The atmosphere will be ok Those chemicals will be dispersed and will eventually break down in UV and oxygen
yeah you are right..the UV and oxygen will break it down in the sky, but the UV index in Ohio is currently zero and only averages up to an 8 in the summer months. That means those molecules aren't going to be absorbing UV in order to break it's current bond and attach to oxygen molecules. Each bond in the chemical compounds require a different amount of UV in order for it to go into oxygen absorption mode. It looks like polymers in the same groups as these chemicals are very resistant to absorbing light https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers
