this is a great post, only just found it so too late to resteem it. I am a big fan of Paul Stamets who wrote an amazing book called 'mycelium running' all about how mushrooms are really our life line and can heal the world. All of our modern medicine is based on traditional herbal medicine, we are so connected with nature and we definitely should be paying more attention, nothing is ever wasted in nature that in itself is something we could def learn from. Thanks for educating me on the plant hopper that is amazing. Following you now so I don't miss any more posts.
