Starting a superstructure is only the beginning. The real task is envisioning what it can do, how it will work, and who you need to work with. If you're not a member, consider joining now. If you are a member, be bold, jump in, and use the superstructure to start organizing for survival. Edit it, add to the vision, and make it real, online and off. And don't forget to rave.

More about Superstructures

  • Northwest Mycological Network

    A natural solution to global problems.
  • Founder: Nicole

    waste, health, community, water, biofuel, agriculture, medical, Bioterrorism, fungus, biotechnology, mycoremediation, northwest mycological network, bioremediation,

  • Who We Need
    Scientists, Medical Researchers, Immunology experts, Mycologists, Analysts, and most importantly other organizations and communities that need our services. To be perfectly honest there is a spot for anyone and everyone
  • How to join

    Currently open to anyone. We'd like to network with likeminded people, communities, superstructs. Suggested but not required: Name two or more superstructs you believe we could/should collaborate with.

     
  • Mission

    Saving the world with fungi. Promote and advance the science of mycology. Our focus is on the following key areas:

    B.E.A.M.

    • B - Biofuel technologies - Developing new and cost effective ways to create biofuel with fungi
    • E - Environmental technologies - using mycoremediation / bioremediation to return an environment contaminated by pollutants to a less contaminated state. Also includes erosion control.
    • A - Agricultural technologies - Research and development of new and improved agricultural methods using fungi. Shortening the time it takes to grow food and developing nontoxic biological pesticides. Ranging from small scale (individual households and communities) to the global scale.
    • M - Medical technologies - Research and development of new medicines derived from fungi. Recent focus on antibacterial agents, antiviral agents to combat pandemic outbreaks and bioterrorism
  • What we can accomplish

    • Saving our most precious resources - WATER.

      Over 90% of plant families are mycorrhizal. With our technology, organic farmers can save up to 60% of the water needed for select crops. Allowing a symbiotic mycorrhiza fungus to grow alongside certain crops will increase their capacity to absorb nutrients and water from the soil in addition to reducing the need to irrigate and fertilize.
