Joe Rogan Experience #1035 - Paul Stamets

"There's been buzz lately about mycelium" -- Well, Paul Stamets has been talking for decades. Did a TED talk, amazing other videos - a fantastic Joe Rogan Podcast etc. Mycelium is AMAZING - and I really hope that we start using it in the myriad ways it is versatile for so many different applications. --- Have you Seen these Paul Stamets vids: Joe rogan: ▶ this video Ted (6 ways mushrooms can change the world: link link link

I generally dislike mushrooms but I was pretty moved by Joe Rogan's podcast #1035 with Paul Stamets. Despite being over 2 hours long I suggested it to and watched it in it's entirety with several different people and each time we end up discussing the content off and on for weeks or months afterwards. Highly recommended. ▶ this video

As a lay person, it's not clear to me whether these malacidins were found in mycelium (fungi). I'm inclined to think this is likely. If so, finding them in dirt is not really surprising (30% of dirt is comprised of mycelium - living and dead). It seems like the obvious place to look for new antibiotics. For anyone that's interested in fungi I can't recommend listening to Paul Stamets talk on the subject more highly. Like a lot of people here on HN I take in a lot of information and his recent interview with Joe Rogan[0] was one of the most fascinating things I've come across in years. [0] ▶ this video

I stumbled upon Paul Stamets on Joe Rogan's podcast, which made a nice introduction to the world of funghi- absolutely fascinating and exciting to think of what else we may discover in this field in the coming years! For anyone interested- ▶ this video

If you're interested in funghi, I recommend Joe Rogans podcast with Paul Stamets, funghi seem to be able to do many things: ▶ this video

It is indeed. I'd also recommend giving this podcast [1] with Paul Stamets a listen. He's a fairly well-known mycologist who has some very interesting things to say on the topic. [1] ▶ this video

Joe Rogan Experience [0]. I love that he sits down with people and actually has long in-depth conversations with them. Here's a few interesting ones: * Let's start with his Elon Musk discussion [1]. It came out 2 weeks ago and it already has 14m views. They basically discuss a bunch of his ideas along with things such as AI and the future of humanity. It's fascinating to get a peek into the kind of person he is. * His discussion with Matthew Walker has been one of the most enlightening ones for me [2]. He's a sleep expert, and in the podcast they go over different myths relating to that. There was recently a HN post [3] where some people were quoting him and his book. * Another big favorite of mine was his discussion with Paul Stamets [4], a mycologist (i.e. a mushroom expert). They discuss some of the effects of different kinds of mushrooms, including psilocybin mushrooms (colloquially known as magic mushrooms). * I loved his discussion with Gary Johnson [5], the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate for 2016. How many other presidential candidates would you imagine would be willing to sit down and answer hard-hitting questions for +2 hours? He also had a discussion with Larry Sharpe [6], the Libertarian Party's candidate for governor of New York in 2018. Full disclosure: I recently joined the Libertarian Party. Listening to these podcasts pushed me to learn more about their movement. * He had a discussion with Mikhaila Peterson [7], the daughter of Jordan Peterson, whi

I found the conversation between Paul Stamets and Joe Rogan to be super interesting: ▶ this video . Never really thought much about mushrooms until that episode. This proof of concept seems like a great taste of how much untapped potential fungi have for changing everyday life if we invest more into its research.

OT: The Joe Rogan podcast recently had Paul Stamets on who talks at great length about fungi and it's benefits -- truly fascinating stuff. ▶ this video

I have no idea, I'm not a mycologist. But what I understood was that one fungus was trying to consume another. It's episode #1035 at around 1h53m: ▶ this video link It starts a discussion about how the FDA is incompetent to make rulings about cordyceps mushrooms because the thousands of peer-reviewed articles about them predate a more precise sampling method that uncovers that there are multiple species (or anamorph strands of the same species, I'm unsure).

Portabello seem to be more dangerous than the general public realizes, though Paul Stamets doesn’t want to go into detail. Some suspect this type of mushroom is highly carcinogenic. Either way, cooking the portobellos at high temperatures should make them safe for consumpion. ▶ this video
