TED talks: 6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save The World

The content of this article has potential to radically shift the world in a variety of positive ways.
And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.
In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. Though Paul is the world’s leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry.
What has Paul discovered? The mycologist has figured out how to use mother nature’s own creations to keep insects from destroying crops. It’s what is being called SMART pesticides. These pesticides provide safe & nearly permanent solution for controlling over 200,000 species of insects – and all thanks to the ‘magic’ of mushrooms.
Paul does this by taking entomopathogenic Fungi (fungi that destroys insects) and morphs it so it does not produce spores. In turn, this actually attracts the insects who then eat and turn into fungi from the inside out!

The product should be called GroundUp actually.

Some how I can see if this takes off, years from now, we will have some new type of cancer being caused by fungi filled insects that bite humans.

Not sure if serious.
If serious, you dumb.

His "invention" targets every insect in the field. The insecticides farmers use now target only the insects that are harming the crop and not the beneficial insects. Bees and insects are good for pollination. Does not seem very environmentally friendly to kill every type of insect in a field indiscriminately.

Yes, well, let's get those Farmers to abandon tractors in lieu of more econfriendly, environmentally sensitive methods of cultivation as well

Lulz. Next thing you know, these insecticides will start creating their own language.

and not only this, but this other guy that I read about has invented a perpetual motion machine that requires no fuel to power cars...but big oil has stopped him from just giving it away to the world like he wants to do.

Monsanta creates roundup ready crops. People associate roundup and GMO with monsanto which is why people always freak out.

exactly...and what people don't realize is that without roundup ready crops, the world's farmers couldn't produce enough food to feed everyone...straight back to the days of famines.

I had To explain this to my wife last night after she read some article from this crunchy lady she follows on Facebook talking about how Monsanto is the devil.

At least Monsanto is protecting us from zombies.
