The world is changed by the magic of mycelium. It begins with the forging of two great kingdoms: plants and fungi. The realm of fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants, trees, and the soil: a fellowship. All living things, interconnected. Plants, animals, and humans alike can be powered by the magic of mycelium. One kingdom to rule them all. #myceliumismagic #onekingdomtorulethemall #mycelium #paulstamets #mycology #kingdom #fungi *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

We might consider plants, animals, and fungi as separate and disconnected entities…but if we take a closer look we can see how nature is intimately related in an integrated ecosystem. Where fungi are present in an environment, they expand their mycelium, connecting themselves to the plants and animals that live there. In doing so, they create symbiotic relationships with plants, trees, and the soil, transferring nutrients and acting as a defense mechanism against environmental stressors. #community #fungi #interconnected #plants #nature

Powered by Mushroom Mycelium™ = No fillers! https://bit.ly/4cgrj2b At Host Defense® we use mushroom mycelium as the foundation for all of our products. Mycelium is the most genetically active part of the mushroom life cycle, acting as the immune response to the fungal organism, filtering nutrients to surrounding plant life, and detecting and destroying invading pathogens. When used in the form of supplements, mycelium must be grown on a ‘substrate’, which just means a food source. There is a fundamental difference between a SUBSTRATE and a FILLER. A ‘filler’ is an additive, or an ingredient that serves to add bulk or weight to the end product, but that has no discernible health benefit. There are no ‘fillers’ used in Host Defense® products. Rather, both the mushroom mycelium and the fermented rice substrate in our supplements have been researched, tested, and shown to offer health-supporting benefits.* #nofillers #mycelium #fermentedsubstrate *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Fungal organisms are natural decomposers! They support ecosystems and even regenerate life by: Decomposing organic materials such as twigs, branches, leaves and dead plants. Converting decomposed material into nutritious soil, where new growth becomes possible. Redistributing nutrients from the decomposed material to living plants, helping to form the food web. We can support the regenerative cycles of nature. Creating a compost pile, letting fallen wood rot, and spreading awareness in our communities are all ways for us to encourage, support, and advocate for the fungal networks that do so much for us. #fungi #mushrooms #mushroomeducation #paulstamets #grandrecyclers #nature #recycle #decompose

Human health and environmental health are inextricably linked. Once we understand we are a PART OF nature, not APART from nature, we can all come together. We are all on this Starship Earth together, and it’s important we don’t damage the home that sustains us. #nature #paulstamets #sustainability
