What's up all you gardeners!  Mr Weedman and Big Earl are back in the studio after some busy months apart. Before they get into some serious weed talk, they get normal, Mr Weedman is seshing on Seattle Chronic grown by Earl and Big Earl is enjoying Lava Cake from his amazing garden. From there the two get into a great conversation about Organic IPM, and using fungus and bacteria in your IPM. Commonly referred to as biologicals, you often hear more about predator bugs but there are also fungus and bacteria that we can use to protect us from most problems. They cover terminology, the direct approach, proper feeding and watering, air flow and so much more. The focus is prevention not treatment and Big Earl shares tons of experience and knowledge so your grow can be a successful one. Thanks for listening and as always, hit us up...---IG: @earl217 and @iamtheregalbeagleEmail: ThatRegalBegal@gmail.com---Twitter: @weedman420podYouTube: Weedman420 ChroniclesEmail: weedman420chronicles@gmail.com---Swag/Shop: https://eightdecades.comIG: @eightdecadesEmail: eightdecadesinfo@gmail.com---#High #Cannabis #StomptheStigma #FreethePlant #CannabisEducation  #CannabisResearch #Weed #Marijuana #LegalizeIt #CannabisNews #CBD #Terpenes  #CannabisPodcast #Podcast #eightdecades #Homegrow #Cultivation #BigEarl #Weedman420Chronicles #GrowHour #seeds #genetics #nutrients #IPM #Burpinthebag #LED #Lights #Atmosphere #TheRegalBegalBeanCo #Autoflower #autos #regs #photos #feminized #terps #plantmedicine #holistichealing #holistic  #seedbreeder #seedbank #beans #forage #chemisty #science #plants #hash #collab #flush COPYRIGHT 2021 Weedman420Chronicles© Suggestions?

Co nám o současné politice říká to, že lidé jako Donald Trump dnes vyhrávají volby? Jaké milníky nás v posledních dekádách k tomuto vývoji nasměřovaly a jaký vývoj je možné očekávat? Po nějaké době se redakce Alarmu opět objevila v Brně. V Kabinetu MÚZ jsme 14. května pořádali večírek společně s festivalem Beseda u Bigbítu, na němž zahrál rapper Anki, písničkářka Barbora Hora se svou kapelou nebo Bernard z brněnského kolektivu Fungus. Večer ovšem zahájila důležitá debata o aktuální geopolitické situaci, kterou připravil a moderoval šéfredaktor Alarmu Jan Bělíček. O Trumpovi a novém světovém řádu společně s ním diskutovali politoložka Anna Pospěch Durnová z Vídeňské univerzity a politolog Pavel Barša působící na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. Právě záznam z této debaty vám nyní přinášíme. Anna Pospěch Durnová se domnívá, že zvolení Donalda Trumpa je součástí širšího příběhu o selhání emancipačních hnutí druhé poloviny 20. století. „Příběh emancipace – ať už jsou to menšiny, náboženské menšiny, genderová identita –, který píšeme od šedesátých let 20. století a v němž se tvrdí, že se máme snažit o nějakou všeobecnou spravedlnost a vytvářet spletitý příběh emancipace a toho, že na tomto světě můžeme nějak pospolitě žít, se pro Trumpovi voliče stává hrozbou, na kterou je potřeba reagovat – klidně i radikálně,“ říká v debatě Anna Pospěch Durnová. Připomíná také, že Trumpovy kroky jeho voliči nepovažují za skandální, ale za něco, čemu tleskají. Pro Pavla Baršu je to jen jedna část příběhu a za důležitější považuje selhání liberální globalizace. Globalizace a digitalizace podle něj zpřítomnila i těm nejchudším lidem realitu ekonomických a společenských nerovností, které v posledních dekádách výrazně akcelerují. Právě to přináší společenskou deziluzi a frustraci. „To přináší obrovský resentiment. Lidé, kteří jsou na opačném konci společenské hierarchie i díky novým technologiím a smartphonům v reálném čase vidí obrovské majetky a blyštivý život bohatých. Je to globální panoptikum nerovnosti,“ říká Pavel Barša. Podle něj sledujeme také zánik meritokracie a představy, že lidé jsou v životě za svou snahu po zásluze odměněni.

Part 1 Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake Summary"Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures" by Merlin Sheldrake is an exploration of the fascinating and complex world of fungi, highlighting their vital role in ecosystems and their impact on life on Earth. Here are the key points and themes from the book:Fungi as Fundamental Organisms: Sheldrake emphasizes that fungi are not just decomposers; they are central to many ecological processes. They form symbiotic relationships with plants, animals, and other organisms, contributing to nutrient cycling and ecosystem health.Mycelium Networks: The book introduces readers to mycelium, the vast underground networks of fungal threads that connect plants and trees, often referred to as the "Wood Wide Web". These networks allow for communication and resource sharing among plants, demonstrating an intricate web of interdependence in nature.Interactions with Life: Sheldrake explores how fungi interact with various forms of life, including humans. He discusses how certain fungi can alter consciousness and perception, particularly through psychedelic experiences, suggesting that our relationship with fungi can influence our mental and emotional states.Fungus and Climate Change: The author examines the role of fungi in responding to and potentially mitigating climate change. Fungi play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, sequestering carbon, and promoting soil health, which are essential in the fight against climatic shifts.Fungi in Medicine and Science: Sheldrake highlights how fungi have been pivotal in medical advancements, such as the discovery of penicillin and the development of various antibiotics. He also discusses current research exploring the use of fungi in bioremediation and other innovative environmental solutions.Fungi and the Unseen World: The book delves into the concept of mycology as a lens to view unseen processes in the world. Fungi challenge human perceptions of life and death, individuality and community, suggesting a more interconnected view of existence.Philosophical Reflections: Throughout the narrative, Sheldrake weaves philosophical reflections on the nature of life, equity in ecosystems, and the need for a holistic approach to environmental issues. He calls for a deeper appreciation of fungi's roles and, by extension, a reevaluation of our relations with nature.In essence, "Entangled Life" is a celebration of fungi, revealing their hidden complexities and urging readers to recognize their profound impact on our world, encouraging a shift in perspective towards appreciating interconnectedness in nature.Part 2 Entangled Life AuthorMerlin Sheldrake is a biologist and author known for his research on fungi and their ecological roles. His widely acclaimed book, "Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures," was released on August 20, 2020. The book explores the complex relationships between fungi and other life forms and examines their impact on ecosystems, human culture, and even our minds.In addition to "Entangled Life," Sheldrake has contributed to various scientific writings and has also co-authored works related to biology and ecology. However, "Entangled Life" stands out as his flagship book, garnering significant attention and praise for its engaging narrative and insightful exploration of mycology.As of October 2023, "Entangled Life" remains his most notable work due to its achievements, including:Winning several awards, such as the 2021 James Beard Foundation Book Award for Best Cookbook and other literary recognitions.Receiving acclaim for its accessibility and thought-provoking content, making complex scientific ideas comprehensible to a broad audience.As for editions, the initial hardcover edition is often regarded as the best due to its...

Santi's toes are NASTY

I'm trying a different tack on Newstalk ZB. It's something I use with teachers and kids at school: the meaning of scientific names of living organisms helps to remind us how certain creatures operate or how they can be identified. Once you get that in your gardening vocabulary it becomes a lot easier to prevent or control the problem that's causing you regular troubles. Taphrina is the name of a parasitic fungi (belonging to the family Taphrinaceae) that produce asci in a superficial hymenium having an indeterminate margin and cause leaf curling and malformations like blisters on various vascular plants. It literally tells us it's a name of Rotter-Fungus that causes curling, malformation, and blisters. The second name (deformans) repeats the symptoms: it causes deformations. That tells us it is a real bummer to have on your plants (especially on stonefruit: peaches, nectarines, plums, peachcotts, peacherines, apricots, etc). Ladies and gentlemen: we're talking about leaf curl on peaches (and Bladder Plum/Plum Pocket on plums). Spring and summer are the main months of queries on our Gardening programs: how to deal with Taphrina deformans and, while we're at it, Taphrina pruni. Short answer: in spring and summer you're too late. Yes, the disease starts in spring, but you can't spray copious amounts of copper on the new and tender leaves – young leaves will burn! Right now, in the middle of Autumn you can avoid the infection. Around mid to late April, when the leaves are falling off the deciduous stone fruit trees, the new buds for the next season are formed. Taphrina deformans will then be invading those new buds and overwinter on those buds to infect the trees again in spring. First thing to do is to remove all fallen leaves from under the trees. That reduces infection chances. Next thing is to spray a double dose of copper spray (copper oxychloride, liquid copper, or copper-sulphur mixtures, available form garden centres) on the remaining leaves and on the branches/twigs of the tree. Use a “sticker” if you can to increase coverage and stickability. Do this again a few weeks or a month later and ensure good coverage of all parts of the tree. Some people use Lime sulphur. That's okay too as a winter clean-up – seeing as the trees are getting to dormancy, Lime Sulphur won't harm the leaves, but I think that lime may not be a great material for apricots as it has the ability to raise the pH levels. A last smack of Copper spray before budburst should “mop up” the last surviving spores before the flowering and fruiting season begins again.

What if your body was trying to tell you something about your state of health...through your blood? And not just through blood tests or "live blood analysis" but via a holographic image?! Adam and Josh Bigelsen are carrying on the important work of their father, Harvey Bigelsen, the author of "Holographic Blood" and "Doctors are More Harmful than Germs".   Today they help us wrap our head around the message(s) that our bodies want to communicate to us. They explain the patterns that the blood uses to tell us about our health. They also go over the progression of disease and how important it is to read the body's messages... and how you can you do so with or without a dark field microscopy instrument.   Visit the Bigelsens' website: Bigelsenacademy.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Earth Runners

If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren't really yours? In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior. Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You'll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones. Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior • Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression • How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert • How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs • Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it • What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation Sponsors: -Sunlighten | Go to https://www.sunlighten.com/dave/ and enter code DAVE at checkout to save up to $1,400. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

Bitter flavours act as nature's warning signs, evolved over hundreds of millions of years to steer us away from potentially toxic compounds. New research published this week in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has just identified the most potent natural bitter compounds known to date and with it insights into why bitterness is so important. The star of this discovery is the mushroom Amaropostia stiptica, a non-toxic fungus renowned among foragers for its relentless, mouth-puckering bitterness. By guiding their isolation efforts with taste assays, the researchers extracted and characterised three previously unknown triterpene glucosides from this mushroom. Among the trio of new compounds, oligoporin D stole the show. In cell-based assays, oligoporin D activated the human bitter taste receptor TAS2R46 at astonishingly low concentrations of around 63 millionths of a gram per litre (roughly one gram dissolved in the volume of a million bathtubs) Why does this matter? Most entries in BitterDB hail from plants or human-made chemicals. Adding fungal compounds like oligoporin D enriches our chemical map of bitterness, revealing new scaffolds that challenge existing predictive models of taste receptor activation Bitter taste receptors predate flowering plants by some 300 million years. By discovering a potent fungal bitterant, researchers gain clues about ancient ecological interactions, did early vertebrates encounter fungi that drove the diversification of their taste receptors? Bitter receptors aren't confined to our mouths - they're sprinkled throughout the gut, lungs, heart, and even on blood cells. Understanding how natural bitterants like oligoporin D engage these extraoral receptors could unlock new avenues in digestion, immunity, and respiratory health The discovery of oligoporin D opens doors to practical innovations including the development of a natural, ultra-bitter coating for household chemicals or pharmaceuticals to prevent accidental ingestion.

The guys open the show talking about the plane crash in Brooklyn Park over the weekend, and other things going on. Then it's on to the nights beers, and a dive into the Loons victory over RSL. They discuss the lineup, Boxy on the bench due to exhaustion, the conditions on the pitch, a great goal by Tani, Pereyra finally in the right position, booing RSL players, Tani get's a brace, and holding on for the shutout. They then make their predictions regarding the upcoming match versus NYCFC, which is followed by some MN soccer history. They end the podcast with a story about a church who thought their communion bread might be sacred, but it turned out to be just bacteria & fungus.

There were a number of pieces at SXSW that were centered around embodied interactions including HONEY FUNGUS, which is a series of interactive embodied experiments telling a broader story of cultivating intimacy with ecology. This piece leans more into embodied dream logic rather than clearly articulating a narrative journey, and I had a fascinating conversation with Johan King who decoded the underlying symbolism. King's first step of his creative process was to go down a rabbit hole researching queer ecology and the latest research on fungi, and he wrote an essay titled "Unfathomable Intimacies" that lays out his original inspirations. One thing that really stuck with me from the experience was this intriguing AI mash-up of Smithsonian Field Research and amateur erotica designed in order to cultivate a new form of ecological intimacy with the world around us. I appreciated this experience a lot more after having a chance to learn more about additional context provided on the website as well as insights gained from my conversation with King. To me the dream logic in this piece leans a little bit more into personal symbols that need some decoding rather than more universal archetypes that are easier to project the intended meaning upon. But I always love learning more about Fungi since they represent so many paradigm-shattering insights. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

Learn about causes of different types of leaf yellowing, soil mushrooms vs slime mold, and then it's a long discussion about different kinds of intentional community building, “independence as trauma response” that we all carry, and ideas about building interconnected communities right where we are ❤️

A parasitic fungus manipulates flowers to attract pollinators, turning them into spore factories instead of pollen providers. This complexity in nature speaks of purposeful design rather than chance evolution. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29

We are back with another episode on fungi. It has been awhile since we spoke on some of our favorite poisonous mushrooms, but this time I wanted to discuss the subject of molds. Toxic black mold has long been a subject of debate within the medical community concerning just how toxic it can be to humans. Certainly, it affects those with allergies to it, chronic respiratory issues such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD. It has also been shown to cause pulmonary hemorrhage in infants and in animal studies. So let's discuss how mold grows and how it causes symptoms such as headaches, breathing problems, and confusion for some. We also need to take a look at possible deaths that were related to toxic black mold. We are also discussing invasive fungal infections this episode. No, not that bad case of ringworm or athletes foot, although those are certainly annoying. I mean that which infects the respiratory system or invades through broken skin and spreads around causing havoc in our bodies. There have been millions of deaths every year related to invasive fungal infections, many of which are related to immunosuppression such as with HIV or those on immunosuppressive drugs longterm. There are various fungi that can invade the body, but this time we are focusing on Aspergillus (causing aspergillosis). I could not do another episode on fungi without including some fun ones such as whiskey fungus and radiotrophic fungi. Nor could I leave out the subject of one of the most well known video games/shows these days: The Last of Us. Yep, we are also going in to cordyceps and how it hijacks it hosts, leading them to an unfortunate demise so it can propagate more of the parasitic fungi.I promise to end on a fun note though with the cutest blue mushroom you've ever seen.

The conversation explores the concept of sociality in insects, particularly focusing on non-eusocial species, and the unique behaviors exhibited by these beetles in their natural habitat. Clara shares insights into her research methodologies, findings on social dynamics, and her academic journey leading to her current studies at the University of Virginia. Clara emphasizes the importance of "basic" research and reflects on her early inspirations in science.Join our community on Patreon! https://patreon.com/Lildudes?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkLil Dudes Insect Academy is a non-profit dedicated to teaching the world about the amazing world of Insects (Entomology).

The fungus that causes mummy-berry disease in blueberries mimics flowers by producing nectar-like substances, releasing a flower-like perfume, and reflecting ultraviolet light to attract bees. These unsuspecting bees, thinking they're gathering nectar, inadvertently spread the fungus to healthy plants, enabling its reproduction.

Today we uncover an invisible killer hidden, for over a hundred years, by reasonable disbelief. Science journalist extraordinaire Carl Zimmer tells us the story of a centuries-long battle of ideas that came to a head, with tragic consequences, in the very recent past. His latest book, called Airborne, details a  largely forgotten history of science that never quite managed to get off the ground. Along the way, Carl helps us understand how we can fail, over and over again, to see a truth right in front of our faces. And how we finally came around thanks to scientific evidence hidden inside a song.EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Carl ZimmerProduced by - Sarah Qariwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Natalie MiddletonEPISODE CITATIONS:Books -  Check out Carl Zimmer's new book, Airborne (https://zpr.io/Q5bdYrubcwE4).Articles -  Read about the study on the Skagit Valley Chorale COVID superspreading event (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32979298/).Signup for our newsletter!!
