Session Description
<div class="ag87-crtemvc-hsbk"><div class="css-vsf5of"><p class="carina-rte-public-DraftStyleDefault-block"><span style="color: rgb(29,28,29);">Mushroom are the great balancers of nature’s scales, returning the dead to the earth to be reborn. Humans have also used fungi to nourish and heal ourselves for millennia, confirming fungi as one of the most powerful organisms on our planet. But some of fungi’s healing properties have been prohibited in modern societies, cutting off one of nature’s best tools in human mental health. Now the landscape is changing and fungi are being welcomed back and explored for new functions. In the age of synthetic biology, we can expect this is just the beginning. As we better understand fungi’s unique properties, we can potentially develop a range of medicines beyond mental health. Coupled with the sustainable materials and foods fungi now provide, mushrooms are seeing their own rebirth as healers for our future.</span></p></div></div>
