In the above photo Paul is holding an Agarikon, which is the oldest mushroom. It can live for up to a 100 years and when it's diluted to 1% it's the effective way to treat the Bird flu.
In 2011 Paul Stamets spoke at the environmental conference, Bioneers, about how mushrooms will save the world. They are the most ancient, keystone species and yet the least studied.
The photo was borrowed from the wiki article on Paul Stamets.
Paul Stamets considers himself the voice for fungi. From his research he's discovered mushrooms that can eat oil spills and nuclear waste, along with a mushroom who's fiber is good for making clothes, and a mushroom that is super dense in vitamin D.
Paul has several patents pending on uses for mushrooms. I was curious to see what exactly he discovered, so I looked up his application on freepatentsonline.com by searching by his last name.
