7.I want to present to you a suite of six mycological solutions, using fungi, and these solutions are based on mycelium.
我要向你们展示6个真菌学方案， 利用真菌，这些方案以菌丝为基础。
8.The mycelium infuses all landscapes, it holds soils together, it’s extremely tenacious.
菌丝深入土地， 把泥土抓在一起，非常牢固，
9.This holds up to 30,000 times its mass.
和他的净重比是30,000倍的力量。
10.They’re the grand molecular disassemblers of nature — the soil magicians.
它们是天然的大分子拆卸器——土地魔术师。
11.They generate the humus soils across the land masses of Earth.
它们产生腐殖土横跨整个地球的陆地。
12.We have now discovered that there is a multi-directional transfer of nutrients between plants, mitigated by the mcyelium — so the mycelium is the mother
现在我们发现植物之间可以多向输送养分， 由菌丝中介—— 所以菌丝就是母亲，
13.that is giving nutrients from alder and birch trees to hemlocks, cedars and Douglas firs.
向桤树、桦树 到铁杉、雪松和道格拉斯冷杉输送养料。
14.Dusty and I, we like to say, on Sunday this is where we go to church.

31.They give rise to the trees, they create the debris fields that feed the mycelium.
它们产生树种， 它们产生残片为菌丝提供养料。
32.And so we see a mushroom here sporulating.
我们在这看到蘑菇在长孢子菌，
33.And the spores are germinating, and the mycelium forms and goes underground.
然后孢子在长芽， 菌丝形成，向地下伸展。
34.In a single cubic inch of soil, there can be more than eight miles of these cells.
每一立方英寸土地，这些细胞可以有8英里。

40.We exhale carbon dioxide, so does mycelium.
我们呼出二氧化碳，菌丝也是这样。
41.It inhales oxygen, just like we do.
它吸进氧气，就像我们一样。
42.But these are essentially externalized stomachs and lungs.
但这些基本上是外在的胃和肺。
43.And I present to you a concept that these are extended neurological membranes.
我向你们显示一种延长神经膜的概念。
44.And in these cavities, these microcavities form, and as they fuse soils, they absorb water.
在这些空腔中，这些微孔形成， 当它们融合土地时，它们吸收水分。
45.These are little wells.
这些是小孔。
46.And inside these wells, then microbal communities begin to form.
在这些小孔中，微生物群开始形成。
47.And so the spongy soil not only resists erosion, but sets up a microbial universe that gives rise to a plurality of other organisms.
所以海绵土不仅能抵御侵蚀， 而且可以建立微生物宇宙， 引起其它生物的多样性。
48.I first proposed, in the early 1990s, that mycelium is Earth’s natural Internet.
90年代早期，我首次提出 菌丝是地球天然互联网。
49.When you look at the mycelium, they’re highly branched.
你仔细看菌丝，它们有很多分支。
50.And if there’s one branch that is broken, then very quickly, because of the nodes of crossing — Internet engineers maybe call them hot points —
如果一个分支断裂，然后很快 由于交叉接点—— 互联网工程师可能把它们叫做热点——
51.there’s alternative pathways for channeling nutrients and information.
就会建立旁路途径输送养料和信息。
52.The mycelium is sentient.

56.The Earth invented the computer Internet for its own benefit, and we now, being the top organism on this planet, are trying to allocate resources in order to protect the biosphere.
地球为自己的利益发明了计算机互联网， 我们作为地球上的高等生物， 则努力合理分配资源以保护生物圈。
57.Going way out, dark matter conforms to the same mycelial archetype.
暗物质符合同一菌丝体原型，
58.I believe matter begets life, life becomes single cells, single cells become strings, strings become chains, chains network.
我相信物质产生生命， 生命变为单细胞，单细胞变成串， 串变成链，链变成网。
59.And this is the paradigm that we see throughout the universe.
这就是我们在整个宇宙中看到的变化。
60.Most of you may not know that fungi were the first organisms to come to land.

61.They came to land 1.3 billion years ago, and plants followed several hundred million years later.
它们是13亿年前出现的， 数亿年之后才有了植物。
62.How is that possible?
这怎么可能？
63.It’s possible because the mycelium produces oxalic acids and many other acids and enzymes, pockmarking rock and grabbing calcium and other minerals
它是可能的，因为菌丝产生草酸 和许多其它的酸和酶， 风化岩石和攫取钙和其它矿物质
64.and forming calcium oxalates.
形成草酸钙。
65.Makes the rocks crumble, and the first step in the generation of soil.
使岩石崩裂，这是产生土壤的第一步。
66.Oxalic acid is two carbon dioxide molecules joined together.
草酸是两个二氧化碳分子结合在一起，
67.So fungi and mycelium sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates.
所以真菌和菌丝 以草酸钙的形式隔离二氧化碳。
68.And all sorts of other oxalates are also sequestering carbon dioxide through the minerals that are being formed and taken out of the rock matrix.
所有其它草酸 也通过形成的矿物质 和从岩石基体中得到的矿物质隔离二氧化碳。

原杉藻属， 放倒了也有3英尺高。
75.The tallest plants on Earth at that time were less than two feet.
在那个时候地球上最高的植物低于2英尺。
76.Dr. Boyce, at the University of Chicago, published an article in the Journal of Geology this past year determining that Prototaxites was a giant fungus,
芝加哥大学的Boyce博士 去年在地质学杂志上发表了一篇文章 确定原杉藻属是一种巨大的真菌，
77.a giant mushroom.

81.Now we’ve had several extinction events, and as we march forward — 65 million years ago — most of you know about it — we had an asteroid impact.
那时我们已经有几次灭绝性事件。后来—— 6千5百万年前——你们大多数人都知道—— 我们有过一次小行星的撞击。
82.The earth was struck by an asteroid, a huge amount of debris was jettisoned into the atmosphere.
地球被小行星撞击， 大量碎片抛入大气层。
83.Sunlight was cut off, and fungi inherited the Earth.
阳光被阻断，真菌遗留在地球上。
84.Those organisms that paired with fungi were rewarded, because fungi do not need light.
以真菌为伍的那些生物得到了好处， 因为真菌不需要光。
85.More recently, at Einstein University, they just determined that fungi use radiation as a source of energy, much like plants use light.
最近在爱因斯坦大学 刚刚确定真菌利用辐射作为能量来源， 很像植物利用光。
86.So the prospect of fungi existing on other planets elsewhere, I think, is a foregone conclusion, at least in my own mind.
所以我认为真菌还存在于其它某些星球的展望 是一个必然的定局， 至少在我的脑海中。
87.The largest organism in the world is in Eastern Oregon.

95.Battelle Laboratories and I joined up in Bellingham, Washington, there were four piles saturated with diesel and other petroleum waste.
巴特尔实验室和我一起在华盛顿贝灵汉， 我们有四堆用柴油和其它石油废液浸透的绒布。
96.One was a control pile, one pile was treated with enzymes, one pile was treated with bacteria and our pile we inoculated with mushroom mycelium.
一堆作为对照，一堆用酶处理， 一堆用细菌处理， 我们这一堆用蘑菇菌丝注射。
97.The mycelium absorbs the oil.
菌丝吸收油。
98.The mycelium is producing enzymes — peroxydases — that break carbon-hydrogen bonds.
菌丝产生酶—— 过氧化物酶——其打破碳-氢键。
99.These are the same bonds that hold hydrocarbons together.
碳-氢键将碳氢化合物结合在一起。
100.So the mycelium becomes saturated with the oil, and then, when we returned six weeks later, all the tarps were removed, all the other piles were dead, dark, and stinky.
菌丝被油浸透了， 6周后我们回来 所用的油布都被挪动了， 所有其它的绒布都死了，变黑而且很臭。
101.We came back to our pile, it was covered with hundreds of pounds of oyster mushrooms — and the color changed to a light form.
我们的绒布上覆盖了 数百磅的牡蛎蘑菇—— 颜色变浅。
102.The enzymes re-manufactured the hydrocarbons into carbohydrates — fungal sugars.

104.They’re very large.
很大。
105.They’re showing how much nutrition that they could’ve obtained.
它们显示了它们能够获得多少养料。
106.But something else happened, which was an epiphany in my life.

107.They sporulated, the spores attract insects, the insects laid eggs, eggs became larvae.
它们形成孢子，孢子吸引昆虫， 昆虫产卵，卵变成幼虫。
108.Birds then came, bringing in seeds, and our pile became an oasis of life.
然后鸟飞来了，带来了种子， 我们的绒布变成了生命的绿洲。
109.Whereas the other three piles were dead, dark and stinky, and the PAH’s — the aromatic hydrocarbons — went from 10,000 parts per million to less than 200 in eight weeks.
而其它三堆绒布死了，变黑变臭了， PAH——芳香族碳氢化合物—— 在8周的时间里从每百万10,000份减少至每百万200份。
110.The last image we don’t have — the entire pile was a green berm of life.
最后我们没有想到—— 整个绒布是生命的绿色护堤。
111.These are gateway species.
这些是入关物种，
112.Vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.
为其它生物群体打开大门的先锋物种。
113.So I invented burlap sacks — bunker spawn — and putting the mycelium — using storm blown debris you can take these burlap sacks and put them downstream
所以我发明了用粗麻布——沙坑产卵—— 放入菌丝——用风暴吹来的碎片， 你把这些粗麻布放到农场的下游，
114.from a farm that’s producing E. coli, or other wastes, or a factory with chemical toxins, and it leads to habitat restoration.
那里产生大肠杆菌，或其它的废物， 或放到有化学毒性的工厂， 它导致生态修复。
115.So we set up a site in Mason County, Washington, and we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of coliforms.
我们在华盛顿梅森县设了一个点， 我们看到大肠菌数量明显减少。
116.And I’ll show you a graph here.
我在这给你们看一张图表。
117.This is a logarithmic scale, 10 to the eighth power.
这是一个对数标度，10的8次方。
118.There’s more than a 100 million colonies per gram, and 10 to the third power is around 1,000.
每克有1亿以上的菌落， 10的3次方是1000。
119.In 48 hours to 72 hours, these three mushroom species reduced the amount of coliform bacteria 10,000 times.
在48-72小时内，这3个蘑菇物种 使大肠杆菌的数量减少了10000倍。
120.Think of the implications.

121.This is a space-conservative method that uses storm debris — and we can be guaranteed that we will have storms every year.
这是一个空间保守的方法，用风暴垃圾—— 我们可以保证每年都有风暴。
122.So this one mushroom, in particular, has drawn our interest over time.
随着时间的推移，这个蘑菇引起我们的特别兴趣。
123.This is my wife Dusty with a mushroom called Fomitopsis officinalis — Agaricon.
这是我妻子Dusty 和一个叫做拟层孔菌属天门冬属的蘑菇——Agaricon。
124.It’s a mushroom exclusive to the old-growth forest, that Dioscorides first described in 65 A.D.
它不是古老森林中的蘑菇， 第奥斯科理德在公元65世纪首次描述
125.as a treatment against consumption.
它用于治疗肺结核。
126.This mushroom grows in Washington state, Oregon, Northern California, British Columbia, now thought to be extinct in Europe.
这种蘑菇生长于华盛顿州、俄勒冈、 加州北部、英国哥伦比亚，现在认为欧洲已经灭绝了。
127.May not seem that large — let’s get closer.
可能看起来没那么大， 让我们走近一些。
128.This is extremely rare fungus.
这是非常罕见的真菌。
129.Our team — and we have a team of experts that go out — we went out 20 times in the old-growth forest last year.
我们的团队——我们有一个专家组 去年去了古老森林20次。
130.We found one sample to be able to get into culture.
我们发现一例可以进行培养。
131.Preserving the genome of these fungi in the old growth forest I think is absolutely critical for human health.
我认为保留古老森林里真菌的基因组 对于人类的健康非常重要。
132.I’ve been involved with the U.S. Defense Department BioShield program.
我参与了美国国防部的生物防护工程。
133.We submitted over 300 samples of mushrooms that were boiled in hot water, and mycelium harvesting these extracellular metabolites.
我们呈递了300多种蘑菇样本，我们在热水中把它们煮了， 菌丝收获了细胞外代谢物。
134.And a few years ago, we received these results.
几年前 我们得到了这些结果。
135.We have three different strains of Agaricon mushrooms that were highly active against pox viruses.
我们有3种不同的Agaricon蘑菇株， 它们抗疹病毒活性非常活跃。
136.Dr. Earl Kern, who’s a smallpox expert of the U.S. Defense Department, states that any compounds that have a selectivity index of two or more are active.
Earl Kern博士是 美国国防部的天花专家，他说 任何选择性指数在2或2以上的化合物都是活跃的，
137.10 or greater are considered to be very active.
10以上是非常活跃。
138.Our mushroom strains were in the highly active range.
我们的蘑菇系属于非常活跃。
139.There’s a vetted press release that you can read — it’s vetted by DOD, if you Google “Stamets” and “smallpox.”
你们可以读一读一篇经过审核的新闻发布稿—— 经美国国防部审核的， 你可以搜索谷歌的“羊肚菌栽培”和“天花”，
140.Or you can go to NPR.org and listen to a live interview.
或者你可以上NPR.org听现场访谈。
141.So, encouraged by this, naturally we went to flu viruses.
受到这点的鼓励，我们转向流感病毒。
142.And so for the first time I am showing this.
这是我第一次展示。
143.We have three different strains of Agaricon mushrooms highly active against flu viruses.
我们有3个不同的Agaricon蘑菇株 抗流感病毒活性非常高。
144.Here’s the selectivity index numbers — against pox, you saw 10s and 20s — now against flu viruses, compared to the ribavirin controls,
这是选择性指数数量—— 你看到10-20——抗流感病毒， 与三唑核苷对照相比，
145.we have an extraordinarily high activity.
我们的有极高的活性。
146.And we’re using a natural extract within the same dosage window as a pure pharmaceutical.
我们使用天然提取物， 其剂量与纯药物剂量相同。
147.We tried it against flu A viruses — H1N1, H3N2 — as well as flu B viruses.
我们试图让它抗流感病毒A——H1N1，H3N2—— 以及流感病毒B。
148.So then we tried a blend, and in a blend combination we tried it against H5N1, and we got greater than 1,000 selectivity index.
然后我们试着混合， 在混合液中，我们想让它抗H5N1, 我们得到了1000以上的选择性指数。
149.(Applause) I then think that we can make the argument that we should save the old-growth forest as a matter of national defense.
（鼓掌） 然后我想我们可以展开讨论 我们是否应将拯救古老森林 作为国家国防事务。
150.(Applause) I became interested in entomopathogenic fungi — fungi that kill insects.
（鼓掌） 我变得对昆虫病原真菌有兴趣—— 真菌杀死昆虫。
151.Our house was being destroyed by carpenter ants.
我们的房屋被木蚁毁了。
152.So I went to the EPA homepage, and they were recommending studies with metarhizium species of a group of fungi that kill carpenter ants, as well as termites.
我上EPA主页，他们推荐他们的研究成果， 一组杀死木蚁和白蚁的 真菌绿僵菌属。
153.I did something that nobody else had done.
我做了别人没做过的事。
154.I actually chased the mycelium when it stopped producing spores.
实际上在菌丝停止产生孢子时，我寻找菌丝。
155.These are spores — this is in their spores.
这些是孢子——这是在孢子里。
156.I was able to morph the culture into a non-sporulating form.
我可以把菌丝培养为 非孢子形式。
157.And so the industry has spent over 100 million dollars specifically on bait stations to prevent termites from eating your house.
这家农药企业在诱饵上投入1亿美元， 防止白蚁吞噬房子。
158.But the insects aren’t stupid, and they would avoid the spores when they came close, and so I morphed the cultures into a non-sporulating form.
但昆虫并不傻， 它们可以在接近孢子的时候避开它， 所以我把菌丝培养为非孢子形式。
159.And I got my daughter’s Barbie doll dish, I put it right where a bunch of carpenter ants were making debris fields, every day, in my house, and the ants were attracted to the mycelium,
我用我女儿的芭比娃娃盘， 我把它放在白蚁群 每天出没的地方。 蚂蚁被菌丝吸引，
160.because there’s no spores.
因为那没有孢子。
161.They gave it to the queen.
它们再把它带给蚁后，
162.One week later, I had no sawdust piles whatsoever.
一周后我的房子再也没有出现过木屑。
163.And then — a delicate dance between dinner and death — the mycelium is consumed by the ants, they become mummified and, boing, a mushroom pops out of their head.
然后——晚餐和死亡之间微妙的舞蹈—— 菌丝被蚂蚁消耗， 变成木乃伊，发出声响，蘑菇从它们的头部突然冒出。
164.(Laughter) Now after sporulation, the spores repel.
（笑声） 在孢子形成之后，孢子相斥。
165.So the house is no longer suitable for invasion.
所以房子就不再适合蚁群入侵了。
166.So you have a near-permanent solution for re-invasion of termites.
这样你有一个比较永久的办法对付白蚁的再次入侵。
167.And so my house came down, I received my first patent against carpenter ants, termites and fire ants.
我的房子毁了，但我收到 对付木蚁、白蚁和火蚁的第一个专利。
168.Then we tried extracts, and lo and behold, we can steer insects to different directions.
随后我们想提炼，你瞧， 我们可以控制昆虫向不同的方向。
169.This has huge implications.
这有很大的作用。
170.I then received my second patent — and this is a big one.
然后我得到了我的第二个专利——这是个大专利，
171.It’s been called an Alexander Graham Bell patent — It covers over 200,000 species.
叫做亚历山大格雷厄姆贝尔专利—— 它涵盖20多万物种。
172.This is the most disruptive technology, I’ve been told by executives of the pesticide industry, that they have ever witnessed.
杀虫剂制造业的主管告诉我， 这是他们见过的 最具破坏性的技术。
173.This could totally revamp the pesticide industries throughout the world.
它可能完全改变全球的杀虫剂制造业。
174.You could fly 100 Ph.D. students under the umbrella of this concept, because my supposition is that entomopathogenic fungi, prior to sporulation, attract the very insects
在这个概念伞下可以飞出100个博士生， 因为我推测是昆虫病原真菌 在芽孢形成前，吸引不同的昆虫，
175.that are otherwise repelled by those spores.
否则它们会被那些孢子排斥。
176.And so I came up with a Life Box because I needed a delivery system.
所以我准备了一个生命盒，因为我需要一个供料系统。
177.The Life Box — you’re gonna be getting a DVD of the TED conference — you add soil, you add water, you have mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi as well as spores,
生命盒——你会从TED得到一份DVD—— 你往里加土，加水， 你除了有孢子还有菌根真菌和植物内生真菌，
178.like of the Agaricon mushroom.
就像是Agaricon蘑菇。
179.The seeds then are mothered by this mycelium.
种子由菌丝照料。
180.And then you put tree seeds in here, and then you end up growing — potentially — an old growth forest from a cardboard box.
你把树种放在这里， 然后你完成了——潜在的—— 古老森林在一个纸板盒内的生长。
181.I want to re-invent the delivery system, and the use of cardboard around the world, so they become ecological footprints.
我想在全球重建这个供料系统 及使用纸板盒， 让它们变成生态足迹。
182.If there’s a YouTube like site that you could put up, you could make it interactive, zip code-specific — where people could join together,
如果能建个像YouTube的网站， 你就能使它互动，有特殊的区域码—— 人们可以联合起来，
183.and through satellite imaging systems, through Virtual Earth or Google Earth, you could confirm carbon credits are being sequestered
通过卫星成像系统、 通过虚拟地球或谷歌地球， 你可以确认碳排放信号
184.by the trees that are coming through Life Boxes.
被生命盒里的树木隔离了。
185.You could take a cardboard box delivering shoes, you could add water — I developed this for the refugee community — corns, beans, and squash, and onions.
你可以用装鞋的纸板盒， 你可以加水——我为社区难民开发了这个 —— 玉米、大豆、南瓜和洋葱。
186.I took several containers — my wife said if I could do this, anybody could — and I ended up growing a seed garden.
我拿了几个盒子——我妻子说如果我能做，任何人都可以做—— 我完成了一个种子园。
187.Then you harvest the seeds — and thank you, Eric Rasmussen, for your help on this — and then you’re harvesting the seed garden.
然后你收获籽粒—— 谢谢你，Eric Rasmussen,谢谢你的帮助—— 然后你在这个种子园获得了丰收。
188.Then you can harvest the kernels, and then you just need a few kernels — I add mycelium to it, and then I inoculate the corn cobs.
你还可以收获籽粒，然后你仅需要几粒籽粒—— 我给它加上菌丝，然后我给玉米接种。
189.Now, three corn cobs, no other grain — lots of mushrooms begin to form.
3个玉米，没有其它的谷物—— 许多蘑菇开始形成。
190.Too many withdrawals from the carbon bank, and so this population will be shut down.
碳供不应求， 这个特定产物就停止了。
191.But watch what happens here.
但看看这里发生了什么，
192.The mushrooms then are harvested, but very importantly, the mycelium has converted the cellulose into fungal sugars.
收获了蘑菇， 但非常重要的是 菌丝将纤维素转变成真菌糖。
193.And so I thought, how could we address the energy crisis in this country?
所以我想，我们如何应对我们国家的能源危机？
194.And we came up with Econol.
我们发现了Econol。
195.Generating ethanol from cellulose using mycelium as an intermediary — and you gain all the benefits that I’ve described to you already.
纤维素利用菌丝作为介质产生乙醇—— 你得到了我向你们描述过的所有好处。
196.But to go from cellulose to ethanol is ecologically unintelligent, and I think that we need to be econologically intelligent about the generation of fuels.
但从纤维素到乙醇从生态学看是愚昧的， 我认为我们需要生态智能 产生燃料。
197.So we build the carbon banks on the planet, renew the soils — these are a species that we need to join with.
所以我们在地球上建立了碳银行，更新土地 有新的物种我们需要合作。
198.I think engaging mycelium can help save the world.
我认为菌丝可有助于拯救世界。
199.Thank you very much.
非常感谢。
