As key players in soil regeneration, macro and micro fungi act as decomposers and nutrient movers—vital for sustaining resilient ecosystems. Learn why “funga” deserves a place alongside flora and fauna in every conversation about ecological restoration. Peter McCoy, author of Radical Mycology, is a leading voice in applied mycology and environmental regeneration. With nearly two decades of experience, Peter shares insights into fungi’s role in restoring soil, supporting biodiversity, and reshaping how we interact with the living world. 🔬 Topics covered: Keystone roles of fungi in soil health The ecological power of decomposers Why fungi matter for climate and habitat resilience 📘 Learn more about Peter McCoy’s work: [Radical Mycology - Chthaeus Press, 2016] Follow the Soil Food Web Blog: https://www.soilfoodweb.com/blog/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.elaines.soil.foodweb.school Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialpageSFWcoursesThe Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors. Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School. #PeterMcCoy #fungi #soilhealth #soilregeneration #soilfoodweb #Mycology #Fungi #SoilHealth #EnvironmentalRestoration #RadicalMycology #SoilRegeneration #Ecology #RegenerativeAgriculture #Composting 00:00:00 Adrienne's Introduction 00:01:34 Peter McCoy's Welcome 00:03:56 What our fungi? 00:06:02 Spitzenkorper 00:08:00 Fungal Queendom & What is their ecological role in soils? 00:15:12 Phosphorus 00:27:09 Mycorrhizaal Species Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:19:45 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/19ede1cd-8dab-4373-8d27-c458a69d61d9 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
