People should look up Paul Stamets. Dude is doing amazing things in the field of mycology and showing the power of mushrooms!

Someone should help him with the page. At least to do a proper one (I’ve just looked the code).

Oh my gosh I’m so dumb I never even put that together. That’s so cool. He does have interesting theories but he’s also saving old growth forests well trying and he’s doing breakthrough research in the medical attributes of mushrooms.

Thanks to this, I just went down a rabbit hole learning about the real Paul Stamets and the fictional but fascinating S-drive.
