00:00Why are fungi important in the Anthropocene?
00:09Fungi contribute to the terrors of the Anthropocene.
00:13At the same time, fungi also make the regrowth of plant life possible
00:19in the face of human disturbance, restoring forests and other complex ecosystems.
00:31The Anthropocene is a microcosm of life.
00:42I like to think that we're essentially at the beginning of a whole new era
00:46in human-fungal relationships.
00:48We are a microculture.
00:50We are a subset of the fungal system that actually designs the world around us,
00:54that has sculpted the earth almost since the beginning of life.
00:59Like you say, decontaminate, you know, like remediate the imaginary in a way.
01:03Like there's so much pollution around us and sometimes the only thing that stops us to go there
01:07is just the fact that we say, it's too good to be true, it can't happen.
01:10You know what I mean?
01:11So then we try to bring the people to that whole idea that they could take back some power in their life
01:16and just like, you know, heal the earth.
01:29The Anthropocene is a microcosm of life.
01:33It's a microcosm of life.
01:37It's a microcosm of life.
