There are some people born to this earth in whom a particular purpose or pursuit is embodied in such a complete way as to make them seem its avatar. Paul Stamets is such a man—The Crocodile Hunter, but for Mushrooms—a world-leading mycologist who eats, grows, lives, breathes, sells, and even wears, fungi.

Now, the famous mushroom scientist wants to create a research station on a remote island to protect old-growth forests containing a rare type of ancient fungus which he believes could protect people against COVID-19, or even future pandemics.


The coronavirus is a natural fit, as Paul Stamets, an expert in the medicinal-use and history of fungi, explains, because for thousands of years fungus was used to treat respiratory infections.





Some will have heard of Stamets through his TED Talk, 6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save the World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI5frPV58tY), which garnered three million views on YouTube, or from his two appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience (https://paulstamets.com/news/joe-rogan-experience-1035-november-2017) podcast when he gave the host one of his hats made from mushrooms.

and along came modern medicine and called the herbalists witches......had them burned at the stake, usually alive.
Such as it is. The best way to overcome your competition is to blame them for something and condemn them.
