Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Close to 70 people of all ages took part in Cortes Island's community fungal forest walk on November 1, 2023. The students of the Cortes Island Academy were among them. We were greeted outside the Linnaea Education Centre by one of the islands better known scientists, who declared: “Good afternoon. Good afternoon. ‘Truncocolumella citrina‘ you can call me, the Latin name for Lemon truffle. On any day other than MYCOblitz, my name is Sabina Leader Mense. I'm a founding director and an educational research associate with the Forest Trust for the Children of Cortez Island Society and it's my pleasure on their behalf to be hosting MYCOblitz 2023.” (Cheers) “‘Myco' is the Greek word for fungus. So MYCOblitz 2023 is a celebration of the kingdom fungi. And to add to our myco-merriment this very special day, we have invited three outstanding mycophiles, lovers of mushroom, and mycologists who do professional studies with mushrooms.” Andy MacKinnon is the lead author of Mushrooms of BC, Paul Stamets founded Fungi Perfecti and Paul Kroeger is President of the Vancouver Mycological Society.

Our GUIDE INTERVIEW SERIES offer you a wealth of concentrated information and insight.

In this episode, host Rob Seeman interviews Jerry Angelini, the national education director for Host Defense organic mushrooms.  Host Defense is a brand of beneficial mushrooms made by Paul Stamets' Fungi Perfecti.  In this wide-ranging discussion many different aspects of mycology are addressed - from mushrooms as food to mushrooms for the planet!

Meet Paul Stamets, my new favourite Mr. Mushroom. Paul is an American mycologist and entrepreneur. He is an author and advocate of the “medicinal” fungi. Stamets runs “Fungi Perfecti” a family-owned, environmentally friendly company specializing in using mushrooms to improve the health of the planet and its people. Fungi perfecti has become synonymous with cutting-edge mycological research and innovative mycological solutions. Stamets has been talking about these “Mycologiclal solutions” for years and since the movie “Fantatsic Funghi” that everyone should watch, one could call Stamets the most passionate advocate of mushrooms. And yes, also Magic Mushrooms, the ones that changed Pauls life long time ago.He often talk about his experience with Magic Mushrooms and he is pretty well known for his mushrooms micro dosing protocoll. But Paul is not a big fan of using magic mushrooms in any other way then thoughtful and purposeful. And FYI,he loathes the word “shrooms”! Paul is an incredible mind, a perfect guest with millions of stories and one of them is, that Stamets once was the german name Steinmetz from Bavaria and we ended our conversation with me promising Paul to look for his ancestors in Bavaria. So, hey, let’s hear the mushrooms theories it from Paul!

Today we are joined by two of the leading pioneers in apiary (beekeeping) sciences and how fungi are being applied to help fight off pests and support the immune systems of the vital honeybee. Fungi have shown up time and time again as a promising companion to improve our relationship with the planet as consumers, and today's topic is a heavy reckoning with honeybee colony collapse. We first discuss how we rely on honeybees for the incredible contribution they make to wildlife biodiversity and modern agriculture.  Jennifer and Nick then get into the weeds of the many hardships that these bee colonies are facing and the detrimental impacts that are already happening. Inspired by Paul Stamet's observation of bees foraging on the mushrooms bed at Fungi Perfecti, Jennifer and Nick's lab have worked on a number of mushroom extracts for honeybee longevity. Additionally, they have pioneered some the important work of combating varroa mites with a well known soil dwelling fungus and mycopesticide — metarhizium anisopliae.Show notes:WSU Bee Lab: http://bees.wsu.edu/Article featuring Jennifer & Nick:  https://www.goodfruit.com/researchers-look-to-fungi-to-help-honeybees/Beeinformed: https://beeinformed.org/The Pollinator Partnership: https://www.pollinator.org/Project Apis m.: https://www.projectapism.org/https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15r3xEFrI-iQ4azQgeCTmgKVJmotUm5OO?usp=sharing

In this episode, I talk to American Mycologist & Author Paul Stamets.We have a great talk about Paul's experience as a stutter and how we found a way of treatment from mushrooms. It was very interesting to get some insights into his life and his way of treatment for his own stutter.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stuttererspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stuttererspeaks/Website: https://stutterer-speaks.simplecast.com/Fungi Perfecti: https://fungi.com/

Per Funghi officinali (o alla latina Fungi officinalis) si intende una particolare specie di funghi che in natura hanno già visto di possedere principi attivi o medicinali e curativo. E ‘questo il caso dei Laricifomes officinalis ovvero Agarikon così come è conosciuto nel mondo, che contiene principi attivi antitumorali, così come riferisce il Guru mondiale dei funghi officinali, lo statunitense Paolo Stamets, proprietario della Fungi Perfecti, insieme a molti altri studiosi e aziende in tutto il mondo, che ne promuovono l’uso nelle cure palliative per i malati oncologici. Di seguito una articolo sull’Agarikon tratto da Paul Stamets.AGARIKON (Laricifomes officinalis)Laricifomes officinalis è un fungo parassita del legno dell’ordine Polyporales. Provoca la putrefazione del cuore marrone sulle conifere e si trova in Europa, Asia e Nord America, oltre che in Marocco. È comunemente noto come agarikon, così come il sapore del chinino per il suo gusto estremamente amaro. L’analisi del DNA supporta L. officinalis come distinto dal genere Fomitopsis.I frutti venivano una volta raccolti estesamente per la produzione di chinino medicinale, che si pensava contenesse, a causa del gusto amaro del cono in polvere. Tuttavia, non contengono chinino e non hanno proprietà anti-malaria .Il decadimento è comune solo in alcuni stand di vecchia crescita. I frutti o coni distintivi possono essere grandi, lunghi quanto due piedi, a forma di zoccolo o colonnari. Sono morbidi, di colore bianco-giallo quando sono giovani, diventando presto bianchi e gessosi dappertutto. Il decadimento è marrone, cubicamente incrinato, con spessi feltri bianchi in grandi fessure. Il sapore di entrambi i coni e feltri è amaro e distinto per questa specie. Un singolo cono di solito indica la completa eliminazione. Gli alberi infetti possono essere habitat per specie di nidificazione.Uso medicinaleL. officinalis era usato dagli antichi Greci per trattare la (tubercolosi) secondo gli scritti di Pedanius Dioscorides nel 65 d.C., e da alcune popolazioni indigene per curare il vaiolo. La presenza di Agarikon nei luoghi di sepoltura può indicare che un tempo il suo uso era diffuso.Il micologo Paul Stamets ha condotto numerose indagini sulle attività biologiche di Agarikon. Gli estratti di agarikon hanno dimostrato un’attività antivirale contro una serie di virus in vitro. Questa attività è stata specificamente osservata contro i virus della famiglia del vaiolo, HSV-1 e HSV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B e Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro. Altri ricercatori hanno identificato nuove cumarine clorurate nell’organismo che hanno dimostrato concentrazioni inibitorie minime molto basse contro il complesso del Mycobacterium tuberculosis . E’ comunemente utilizzato in tutto il mondo con il nome di Agarikon di supporto e integrazione nei pazienti oncologici soprattutto nei tumori solidi.ConservazioneL’Agarikon selvatico si trova solo nelle foreste a crescita antica e cresce sulle conifere, in particolare l’abete Douglas (Pseudotsuga) e il larice (Larix). La conservazione delle popolazioni selvatiche di L. officinalis è preoccupante a causa della perdita di habitat forestali antichi. Poiché è difficile mantenere l’integrità genetica a lungo termine dei ceppi coltivati ​​in laboratorio, è necessario preservare il fungo in natura.EtnomicologiaLaricifomes officinalis era importante sia a livello medico che spirituale per le popolazioni indigene della costa nord-occidentale del Pacifico del Nord America, come il Tlingit, Haida e Tsimshian. L. officinalis era indicato come “il pane dei fantasmi” nelle lingue locali e i corpi fruttiferi intagliati segnavano le tombe degli sciamani tribali .RiferimentiLa maggior parte delle medicine moderne ha origine in natura. Sebbene alcuni funghi siano stati usati nelle terapie per migliaia di anni, stiamo ancora scoprendo nuove potenziali medicine nascoste al loro interno. Per molti anni ho cercato e studiato Agarikon, un fungo insolito originario delle antiche foreste di conifere di crescita del Nord America e dell’Europa. Un grande cono di legno – un polypore perenne – Agarikon sopravvive per molti anni ed emette spore attraverso i pori biancastri dalla sua parte inferiore ogni estate (vedi foto sotto). Questo fungo a forma di alveare può essere il fungo vivente più lungo del mondo, che cresce nelle foreste temperate di conifere della California del Nord, Oregon, Washington e Columbia Britannica. Questa specie sopravvive anche, in modo precario, sui vecchi alberi di larice della crescita nelle Alpi slovene, vicino ai confini dell’Italia e dell’Austria. Agarikon ha due nomi scientifici comunemente usati: Laricifomes officinalis, preferito per gli esemplari trovati sugli alberi di larice (specie Larix) e Fomitopsis officinalis, che si applica a quelli ospitati da abete Douglas, abete rosso e cicuta.I micologi di Fungi Perfecti conservano una biblioteca culturale di 44 ceppi di questo fungo raro che sono stati raccolti in tutto il mondo negli ultimi 20 anni. Undici di questi ceppi sono stati geneticamente sequenziati e hanno contribuito alla “genetica impronta digitale” di Fomitopsis officinalis a GenBank presso il Centro Nazionale di genetica vegetale US.(tratto da articolo originale di Paul Stamets 2009)

Alex J. Swanson is the founder of Nutrition Genome and creator of the software Genetrition. Alex is the son of our own “Ask Cheri” guest, Cheri Swanson.  Influenced by his mom, he has taken nutrition to the next level.  Alex explains how the Nutrition Genome works through a saliva sample from a cheek swab which holds your very own DNA.  This is then shipped to a lab where they sequence and genotype it which is how to get DNA.  This  gives them a data file on all your genes.   They then look at the data and make sense of it.  This information relates to your brain and heart health, hormones, digestion and different parts of the body.  Nutrigenomics is how your body responds to diet and how your genes respond to food.  We are all a little different and all this relates back to our ancestors….how they ate and where they lived accumulates to who you are now.     The Nutrition Genome removes the fear around genetic testing...showing how your genes are not necessarily your destiny, but rather your blueprint.  Once you understand the blueprint you know how to make modifications and changes to help reduce the risk of disease.  You can take steps to facilitate and help your own biochemistry to be its healthiest.  You get a software report with genes for each section which shows gene variance (what makes you different from other people).   All of this traces back to our migration roots.     HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR INTERVIEW:   We focus on Brain Awareness and Mental Health month so we talk about Alzheimer's prevention.     When people have certain variances in the APOE gene (a gene that has to do with cholesterol as well as protects the brain neurons), they have reduced protection against Alzheimer’s.  This genotype increases the risk of Alzheimer's and has both pros and cons (Pros: higher bone density, less risk of infertility, better calcium and Vitamin D absorption, less miscarriages).    2/3 of all Alzheimer's patients are women.   Avoid inflammation by eating foods that are anti-inflammatory, such as foods that are high in choline and folate (egg yolks, chicken thighs vs. breast, liver, organ meats, nuts, broccoli, romaine lettuce, oranges, fenol, berries, freshly ground flax seeds, hops tea).   Sleep is super important — you should be getting 7 ½ to 8 ½ hours per night.   Important to fast 12-14 hours after your last meal (intermittent fasting) to give your body time to reset and filter.   Focus on exercise and movement.   Women can boost estrogen with foods and phytoestrogen (phytoestrogens foods: flax seeds, hops IPA beers and hops tea)   Exotic mushrooms help the body adapt to stress (Chaga, Lions Mane, Reiche, Shiitake, Nayataki)   Good brands for medicinal mushrooms: Mushroom Science and Fungi Perfecti    Good brands for medicinal mushrooms: Mushroom Science Fungi Perfecti   Book: The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest By, Dan Buettner   Genome Testing: (*need affiliate link here) www.Nutrtiongenome.com   Alex Swanson M.S. www.nutritiongenome.com www.thehealthbeat.com www.swansonhealthcenter.com   HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!   Would you  like to get a weekly reminder of our upcoming shows?

Miles Teitge took his first steps in the old growth forests of Vashon Island, WA, and was transplanted to the Idaho high mountain desert in 1983. Graduating from the Community School, he took up surfing in Kauai, trekked India, and biked across the U.S. to study Anthroposophy for a year at Camphill Village in Copake, NY. This Rudolph Steiner inspired community serves those with special needs, and is also the home of Turtle Tree Seed, a producer of biodynamic seeds. He earned a Bachelor's degree in education at Antioch University, while volunteering at the Seattle Tilth Children's Garden. Miles interned at the Herb Pharm in Williams, OR, and continued his education at Seed School (with local legend Bill McDorman), and the Fungi Perfecti mushroom cultivation course (with visionary Paul Stamets). He joined The Mountain School shortly after it opened, inspired to learn and teach principles of permaculture and the gardening arts; be it cultivating vegetables, gathering medicinal herbs, grafting trees, laying out hugelkultur beds, bee-tending, greenhouse design, poultry care, humane composting, worm wrangling or the like, there is a lifetime of learning on this path! He and Sweet Clover teacher, Jessica Banks, are the proud parents of SMS student Edyn Crow Teitge. Miles is delighted to continue with the Syringa Mountain School's Sustainability Arts program and plans to share his deep reverence for the natural world, plant fruit for future generations, and grow the largest watermelon the Wood River Valley has ever seen in 2017!
