    Monsanto would like this not to be true.

    He Holds The Patent That Could DESTROY Monsanto And Change The World!

    If there’s anything you read – or share – let this be it. The content of this article has potential to radically shift the world in a variety of positive ways.
    And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.
    In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. Though Paul is the world’s leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry.
    What has Paul discovered? The mycologist has figured out how to use mother nature’s own creations to keep insects from destroying crops. It’s what is being called SMART pesticides. These pesticides provide safe & nearly permanent solution for controlling over 200,000 species of insects – and all thanks to the ‘magic’ of mushrooms.
    Paul does this by taking entomopathogenic Fungi (fungi that destroys insects) and morphs it so it does not produce spores. In turn, this actually attracts the insects who then eat and turn into fungi from the inside out!


    This patent has potential to revolutionize the way humans grow crops – if it can be allowed to reach mass exposure.
    To tolerate the use of pesticides in modern agriculture is to deny evidence proving its detrimental effects against the environment. Such ignorance really can no longer be tolerated. For example, can you imagine a world without bees? Monsanto’s chemical concoctions which are being sprayed all over farmers’ fields around the world are attributed to the large-scale bee die off. While a growing number of countries are banning Monsanto, it’s still being used in in nations who should be aware of its dangers. To say that new methods need to be implemented before it is too late is an understatement.


    Monsanto presently generates $16 billion dollars per year (as reported in 2014), therefore you can be certain they do not want anything interrupting that flow of revenue. Such income gives them nearly limitless resources and abilities to suppress information that may be damaging their reputation.
    But by becoming educated on the benefits of growing sustainable, organic, and bio-dynamic food, sharing articles like this, and boycotting GMO & herbicide-sprayed crops, the corporate demon may soon get the message.
    Here are helpful links to understand more about the incredible patent discussed above:

    Here is a link to the patent we are speaking of: 7,122,176

    A list of all the patents Paul has applied for:

    So where can it be purchased?

    This is great news if it pans out. I will read the followups.

    This part ought to be grounds for criminal prosecution. If it isn't actually illegal now, it ought to be. The charge should be 'crimes against nature,' which ought to be treated, at this extreme, the same as crimes against humanity. No reason to quibble; it's actually in this case the same thing.

      Sounds too good to be true, but I hope that it is.

          Why is killing 200,000 species of insects with a fungus instead of a chemical a good thing?

            Now, that's a good question. I wonder how dangerous that fungus really is.

              collateral damage, insects killed by the fungus don't kill birds or bats. Killing 200,000 insects isn't good either but, in the minds of some, killing insects, 200,000 species is better than killing 30 species of birds they enjoy watching.

              Bayer have the experience alright.

                  How do you know the fungus won't kill birds and bats? Forgive me if I'm missing something here, the OP is in the vein of a 'best kept secret' that we 'must share share share' but has no information WHY this fungal insecticide is in any way better that chemical pesticides, other than the fact it isn't chemicals and made by that nasty company Monsanto. Biological pesticides can carry up the food chain just as chemical ones can.

                    I am inclined to think we don't have to worry at this time about extinction of insects from shrooms

                      That's pretty bad. What if it starves the bats instead of poisoning them?

                        I had some of the same thoughts about killing insects with fungi instead of chemicals. White-nose syndrome is a disease caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans. The disease is estimated to have killed over six million bats in eastern North America since 2006, and can kill up to 100% of bats in a colony during hibernation. Just because it is from a fungus doesn't make it safer.

                          Fungus kills many species of native plant here and a lot of frogs.

                            So encourage bat colonies to proliferate near crop densities. I'm down with the bats man.

                            This is is partially moot though, as many crop diseases are fungal anyway.
