Wiki Version:
Current projections predict a human population of 9.7 billion people by 2050. If these projections are realized, humanity will be challenged to feed, shelter, medicate and clothe those people without deteriorating Earth’s ecosystem services upon which humanity relies for existence. Climate change only exacerbates those challenges. What is needed is a way of life that enables humanity to meet those challenges while providing a home for future generations. Filamentous fungi will show us the way. Fungi are some of the oldest terrestrial organisms. Filamentous fungi underpin many of the ecosystems that support life on Earth. Saprotrophic filamentous fungi have been used for thousands of years in applications ranging from health to spiritual practices; more recently for food and more recently still, for pharmaceutical and materials production. Filamentous fungi have the potential to fundamentally alter the way we interact with Earth, turning waste into food, materials, medicines, and energy -- the possibilities are limited only by our imagination. A technology -- a way of life -- this powerful should be shared for the benefit of all life on Earth. This project aims to realize the full potential of filamentous fungi for all life on the planet, now and for generations to come. Join us and realize the future we all hope for.
