Part 2: Peter McCoy on Fungi for Personal and Planetary Healing



Today, the conversation with Radical Mycology’s Peter McCoy probes onward, as we invoke the powers of fungi in Earth healing and the integration of human societies into our delicate and compromised biosphere. We begin with cutting-edge uses of fungi for personalized medicine, which promises sweeping advances in healthcare and natural healing. We surmise the potentials and the limitations of myco-remediation in confronting industrial agriculture, logging, oceanic plastics, and other major pollution. We’ll also discuss the imperative to preserve fungal diversity and the methods of creating local spore and culture banks. Despite being sidelined by academia and the social mainstream, understanding mycology and fungal ecology—and the universal patterns therein—is an essential tool for reigning in the ecological crisis.

The Language Of Nature – Plants Communicate Using An Advanced "Bio-Internet" Of Fungus

Take a walk through the woods alone and you'll probably hear many different things. The gentle hum of the Earth brings a type of quality relaxation not much else can. What you don't hear, however, is the complex communication that scientists believe is taking place under our feet.
Beneath the Earth, the roots of plants and trees are connected to one another, not physically, but through a super-highway of fungus that creates a unique web between the trees. Researchers have jokingly called this the "wood wide web."
These fungi, called mycelium, grow to be as large as a few meters and connect with other mycelium. This network allows trees and plants to communicate some complex thoughts.
For example, if a flower is crushed, the flower can send a rudimentary warning to other plants that danger is afoot. But why does this network even exist? It's all symbiotic.
The roots of these plants provide food to the fungus, and the fungus helps provide water and nutrients to the plants. This allows forests to thrive and grow as an interconnected group, not as individuals competing with one another.
Suzanne Simard, as a graduate student at the University of British Columbia, first discovered this network in paper birch and douglas fir trees.
They were able to transfer carbon to help smaller trees that didn't get enough sunlight. It's an example of mother trees taking care of their children.

Im State of the World´s Plants Bericht der Royal Botanic Gardens Kew wurden 31.128 Pflanzen verzeichnet, die einen dokumentierten Nutzen haben.
Darunter auch "Medicines" und "Social Uses", welche besonders interessant wären
Nur leider sind die Pflanzen hier nicht gelistet
Weiss jemand zufällig mehr über eine genaue Liste dieser Pflanzen?

Gleich dazu passend eine Frage:
Habe mir zwar schon ein paar Bücher und Youtubes angesehen, aber kennt vielleicht jemand empfehlenswerte Bücher (gerne auch E-Books) oder Videos zum Thema Veredeln?

Top 10 Medicinal Plants of the Amazon

The Amazon rainforest is known for its rich biodiversity, but few realize that this natural wealth goes far deeper than just the animals and beautiful flora. The rare plants of the Amazon not only create a unique natural environment, but have been used by ancient civilizations (and are still being used today) for their powerful medicinal properties. From anxiety to infertility, to cancer and AIDS, these medicinal plants have long been used to heal all of humankind’s ailments- and we’ve likely only discovered a small percentage of them. Here are just 10 of the most useful medicinal plants of the Amazon rainforest (though there are thousands more!), and what they can be used for.

1. Wasai
Great for kidney health, the root of the wasai tree is often ground up and prescribed as a diuretic.

2. Lapacho
Seventy percent of plants with anticancer properties exist only in the Amazon, and this is one of them! Currently, this incredible medicinal plant is used to treat cancer, alleviate pain from chemotherapy, and fight infections.


3. Cordoncillo
Long used by native cultures, this plant is useful as an anesthetic for those who are ill or have suffered an injury. By simply chewing on the leaves, your mouth will go numb. Rub it on a wound for the same effect.

4. Tawari Tree Bark
The bark of this treat has multiple anticancer properties, and is useful in treating infection, cancerous cells, tumors, and inflammation.


5. Sodo
Forget nicotine patches, because the aromatic sodo plant can be used to cure addiction (including alcoholism).


6. Pusangade Motelo
This medicinal plant makes you happy! It’s used to relieve anxiety and has a calming effect on the consumer, a good alternative to clinically-produced psychotropic medications.


7. Cola de raton (Rat’s Tail)
While the name hardly suggests it, cola de raton is used to help with digestion.


8. Canellila
Often used to treat women with ovarian cysts, Canellila is also believed to be one of the medicinal plants that could increase the likelihood of conception.


9. Brazilian Ginseng (Suma)
An aphrodisiac, healing tonic, energizer, and immune system enhancer, Suma does a lot of good. On top of all that, it also has anticancer properties!

10. Shapumvilla
Said to have coagulant properties, this medicinal plant is used to stop bleeding. Very convenient if you get any cuts while exploring the Amazon.


The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen, 20% of the world’s fresh water, and an innumerable collection of medicinal plants. The above are only 10 of 150,000 species of plants found in the rainforest, many of whose uses have yet to be discovered. As we work to protect the Amazon Rainforest, it’s essential that we remember the potential cures that lie within in the form of medicinal plants. So far, this includes plants that can be used for AIDS, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s drugs and cures, and hopefully many more in the future!
