From food with love to the strongest mycelian network on the planet. This has been a dream of mine in the making for a decade. Paul Stamets is brought on stage as one of the keynotes before closing with a special person from the Bay Area.
Thank you very much. It's an honor to be here and this is a culmination of literally decades of work. Paradigm shifting scalable solution for viral pandemics. We've entered into a period of constant viral storms due to concentration of animals including people as they allow these vectors to spread. All habitats are infused with mycelium. When started talking about mycelium 40 years ago, people didn't know. Now most everybody knows what mycelium is. Mushrooms that form from mycelium are the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Mycelium is 99% of the life cycle with most mushrooms. Mushrooms are a portal into a vast mycelial network, literally underneath your feet, up to 8 miles per cubic inch, 400 miles under every footstep. They permeate all habitats. They create quorums and guilds of cooperating microorganisms that create sustainable food chains and healthy ecosystems. Mycelium over 4 days grows exponentially. This is highly scalable. This is a fermentation technology. Take a small fragment and grow up to 10 million pounds of mycelium in 4 to 6 months.
Journey started when Dr. Frank Piraino, a virologist, at the University of Wisconsin Medical School asked to find the gypsy mushroom at age 22. Sent him 20 to 30 pounds of this mycelial mushroom that grows in old growth forest. He discovered a novel antiviral drug called RC-183. From Frank Piraino's stimulation of interest, see the consequences of a kind elder who adopted a friendship with a young man and collaborated.
