Mushroom pickers urged to avoid foraging books on Amazon that appear to be written by AI. Sample of books scored 100% on AI detection test as experts warn they contain dangerous advice

The skin off the legs of a mushroom could potentially offer a sustainable alternative to insulative substrates in computing chips. As production of electronic devices continues to increase, scientists are looking to insert a bit of nature and biodegradability into common components like the microchip, and believe it or not, peeling the skin off the mycelium of a mushroom can protect chips from heat up to 392°F (200°C.)

The Austrian-based start-up ATTA wants to make mushrooms a serious meat alternative - by building mushroom-growing facilities that are smart, simple and affordable.

Vegan alternatives to leather could save much more than just animal lives. A group of scientists has high hopes for mushroom leather, which they believe will be a new replacement for animal leather. Mushroom mycelium can be a great replica of animal leather and predictions include a solution to our planet. What exactly is mushroom leather and how exactly is it supposed to save our planet already?

Buried in forest litter or sprouting from trees, fungi might give the impression of being silent and relatively self-contained organisms, but a new study suggests they may be champignon communicators. Mathematical analysis of the electrical signals fungi seemingly send to one another has identified patterns that bear a striking structural similarity to human speech.

This video shows how to harvest and cook giant puffball mushrooms, similar to how I did about a month ago.

We took a a deep dive into all the amazing perks of eating mushrooms with tips from recent studies on the nutritional benefits.

A man who was missing in Australia for 18 days has been found after surviving on mushrooms and dam water, police say. Search efforts launched after Robert Weber, 58, went missing in the state of Queensland were called off this week. But police said he had been found near a dam on Sunday by a "property owner", who has been identified in Australian media as a local politician.

The astonishing secrets of fungal life raise profound questions

Over two years we follow the first ever medical trial of psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) being used to treat a group of volunteers suffering from clinical depression.

They shape the world—and offer lessons for how to live in it.

"Right now, traditional habitat designs for Mars are like a turtle — carrying our homes with us on our backs — a reliable plan, but with huge energy costs."

Cocoa husks, dried orange peel, ground blue pea flowers: the ingredients read like a tasting menu. They are, in fact, waste products that are used to make Orb – a sustainable building material that is carbon neutral. It’s versatile enough to be used for furniture or as a substitute for a wood-based sheet material.

The thought of dying was killing Kerry Pappas. Then the cancer patient took a trip on psilocybin – the active agent in "magic mushrooms." Ever since, she says she is perfectly comfortable with her life.

A new study published in the International Journal of Cancer found an inverse relationship between mushroom consumption and the development of prostate cancer among middle-aged and elderly Japanese men, suggesting that regular mushroom intake might help to prevent prostate cancer.

A package of dried grocery store mushrooms yielded three species that had never been identified before.

Safer, even, than smoking weed.

Tiny doses of magic mushrooms and truffles could help you to produce more new and creative ideas

Recently, a plastic-eating fungus was discovered in a landfill in Pakistan. Soil samples indicate a strain of fungus called Aspergillus Tubingensis, which breaks down polyester polyurethane in a few weeks rather than in hundreds of years. Polyurethane is used to manufacture everyday objects such as tyres and condoms, both of which end up in a landfill.

In an evaluation of the safety and abuse research on the drug in hallucinogenic mushrooms, Johns Hopkins researchers suggest that if it clears phase III clinical trials, psilocybin should be re-categorized from a schedule I drug—one with no known medical potential—to a schedule IV drug such as prescription sleep aids, but with tighter control.
