On “The largest living thing on Earth is a fungus (2014)”
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- link to this video

On “New antibiotic family discovered in dirt”
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 Rogan0 was one of the most fascinating things I've come across in years. 0 link to this video

On “Mylo: A leather-like material made from mycelium”
I found the conversation between Paul Stamets and Joe Rogan to be super interesting: link to 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.

On “Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?”
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…

On “Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer to Medicinal Use”
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. link to this video

On “Complex life may only exist because of millions of years of groundwork by fungi”
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 link to this video

On “Buildings made with fungi could live, grow, and then biodegrade”
"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: link to this video Ted (6 ways mushrooms can change the world: link link link

On “State of the World's Fungi”
Paul Stamets on the Joe Rogan Experience talking about Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) and magic mushrooms: link to this video Combining those two with Vitamin B3 (Niacin) supposedly does wonders for circulation or something along those lines. I can only attest that the niacin flush makes me want to rub and massage my body everywhere because it feels so nice and warm. (Note: long term daily extreme doses of Niacin may contribute to liver problems)

On “I Survived the “Destroying Angel” (2006)”
Not directly related but mushroom-guru Paul Stamets recommends against eating Portobello mushrooms or -if you eat them- at least cook them very very well. Paul doesn't dare to go into too many details regarding this mushroom though: link to this video Also, Enoki mushrooms should prevent some cancers as was seen in Japan: link to this video

On “Saving Florida’s Oranges Starts with Soil”
I studied engineering/physics and I've dipped into the agricultural field the past year having developed an interest in it, also observing the operations of a local organic farm. It's actually quite fascinating. I'm currently following a course created by Dr. Elaine Ingham, who is a microbiologist that studies soil biology and has done some really amazing research. She also worked at Colorado State University, which can't be a coincidence! Here's the lowdown of what happens, because we've been getting this wrong for centuries in agriculture. The nutrients (N, Ph, Mg, K, etc) are bound to materials in the soil ranging from rocks to pebbles, to sands, silts and clays. We have been destroying t…

On “Safest mushrooms to forage and eat”
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. link to this video

On “Are there more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way? (2016)”
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: link to 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).
