Hey Gunnar ✨I’m Arsh and my fairly new substack! Came across your post and thought I’ll drop by. My blog is all about sustainability so anyone who’s curious about the field, the new innovations, scoop, and even the basics for someone new! 🌱 follow along on this journey! I make it fun to #SUSitOut
Oyster mushrooms can clean up petroleum spills and restore the ecology in less time than conventional chemical waste disposal techniques. Paul Stametes did an experiment (or at least wrote about one, I don't remember exactly) back in 2012/2013 and its results have been replicated since then. There is also this great theory by Anirban Bandyopadhyay, Stuart Hamerhoff, and Sir Roger Penrose that suggests that conciousness is not emergent from higher order neural networks but is actually a result of the structure (spiral shape) of tubulin forming microtubules in the dendrites and axon of neurons. Basically that benzene rings inside the tubulin form aromatic clouds through dipolar resonace are actually what gives rise to conciousness. Hamerhoff has postulated that psilocybin or DMT, essentially molecules that resemble neurotransmitter monoamines like serotonin, increase the frequency of microtubule resonance offering a different concious experience. Its stirring stuff, id love to hear your thoughts on it!
Pleurotus (*sp?) is a highly adaptive and intelligent genus known to not only break down but completely consume plastics. Many species in the genus are also edible.

Hi, Arsh! Thanks for dropping by. That sounds interesting! I’ll check it out.

Love this comment! Thanks, Shruti.
I should have mentioned the oyster mushrooms.
And I'll have to look into the tubulin-consciousness link a little more. I only know the outlines of the hypothesis, but stirring stuff for sure.
I'M A BARBIE GIRL
IN A BARBIE WORLD
LIFE IN PLASTIC
IS FANTASTIC
I'm sorry but that popped in my head when I saw the title and it is still there.
No apology needed. Exactly what I was going for!
Come on Barbie
Let’s go party

Oh, that's an excellent addition. Thanks, Jos!
