![]() Just as mycelium play a key role to the health of the ecosystems around them, so too do they play a role in our own health. The myriad of complex polysaccharides, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics and digestive enzymes within the mycelium are essential pieces of the way functional mushrooms interact with our own systems. The benefits of mushroom superfoods extend much farther from just the beta-glucans. While beta-glucans are indeed an incredible part of the fruiting body of a superfood mushroom, research shows that using a full-spectrum alternative found in whole food functional mushrooms has much more profound and long-term beneficial in supporting multiple aspects of health.įull Spectrum Benefits, Beyond the Beta-glucans Many products on the market focus almost exclusively on the high ratio of beta-glucans for immunomodulation as a primary function of mushrooms. This has important implications for our own use of these mushrooms. The mycelium acts as the defense mechanism that enables the mushroom to thrive, and the mycelium subsequently supports our immune system functionality when we incorporate whole food mushrooms containing mycelium into our diet. It is these unique compounds born out of defense against natural environmental stressors that increase the medicinal and nutritional value of the whole mushroom. The mycelium develops enzymes and metabolites that it introduces into the substrate and these compounds create protection for the mycelium and the entire mushroom. Put simply, the mycelium faces challenges as it extends and grows into its substrate surroundings and must find ways to defend against competitors, such as pathogens. Research has also shown that mycelial networks can prove effective for reducing competition of invasive species as well as for supporting the host plant’s immune system via bioactive compounds found only in the mycelium. While, clearly, the distribution of resources all over the forest is an important function of mycelium, it’s not the only benefit. This beautiful interconnectivity is often referred to as the “ wood wide web ,” and ensures the health not only of the mushrooms but of the entire ecosystem. Though it may sound like it’s out of an amazing science-fiction movie, research has shown that they also form a communication network with other plants and work symbiotically to facilitate the exchange of nutrients and sugars all over the forest. The long, microscopic fibers of the mycelium are the most bioactive stage of the mushroom’s lifecycle (without the mycelium, there would be no mushroom) and form an underground network that doesn’t just serve to feed the mushrooms on the surface. These bite-sized nutrients can then travel up to the fruiting body and be exchanged for important sugars made via photosynthesis. These threads naturally extend into the soil, plant matter, wood and other materials to pick up water and nutrients and bring them back to the “mothership.” To do so, the mycelium (the spelling of the plural form of the word is the same as the singular form) first excrete enzymes to break down the substrate around them - whether it’s a fallen log, plant matter on the forest floor or nutritious substrates used in indoor cultivation, such as organic oats or rice - into a digestible size so that they can be absorbed through the mycelium’s cell wall. Composed of a dense mass of fine, thread-like filaments of tissue called hyphae, the mycelium is an essential part of the life support system for the fungus. The above-ground part of the mushroom is called the fruiting body, while the root system of the mushroom is called the mycelium. We may typically picture a mushroom as only the above ground part of a fungus, but much of the vegetative parts actually lie underground. So why should you always choose a product that contains the entire lifecycle of the functional mushroom - the mycelium as well as its cultured substrate? Read on to learn what mycelium is, its numerous benefits and nutrition-rich profile and how to find the products that contain mycelium. However, as we see an increase of products coming out on the market, there’s one essential piece that often gets left behind: the mycelium. Research from the past decade has shown many health benefits to consuming functional mushrooms such as Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane, to name a few, including reduced inflammation to immune support. Superfood mushrooms are finally getting their due.

Colin Fanning, a curatorial fellow at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, points out that European philosophers have long promoted block-based games as a form of “good” play that cultivates abstract thought. Playing with blocks, it turns out, has deep cultural roots in Europe. They are irresistibly drawn by the detritus generated by building, gardening, housework, tailoring or carpentry.” ![]() “Children,” the social critic Walter Benjamin wrote in 1924, “are particularly fond of haunting any site where things are being visibly worked on. What will the Minecraft generation become? Those kids of the ’70s and ’80s grew up to become the architects of our modern digital world, with all its allures and perils. But as Jordan’s experience suggests - and as parents peering over their children’s shoulders sense - Minecraft is a different sort of phenomenon.Īt a time when even the president is urging kids to learn to code, Minecraft has become a stealth gateway to the fundamentals, and the pleasures, of computer science. There have been blockbuster games before, of course. In 2014, Microsoft bought Minecraft - and Mojang, the Swedish game studio behind it - for $2.5 billion. There are over 100 million registered players, and it’s now the third-best-selling video game in history, after Tetris and Wii Sports. Since its release seven years ago, Minecraft has become a global sensation, captivating a generation of children. “My art teacher always says, ‘No games are creative, except for the people who create them.’ But she said, ‘The only exception that I have for that is Minecraft.’ ” He floated over to the maze’s exit, where he had posted a sign for the survivors: The journey matters more than what you get in the end. On-screen, he steered us over to the entrance to the maze, and I peered in at the contraptions chugging away. “It’s like the earth, the world, and you’re the creator of it,” he said. When I visited Jordan at his home in New Jersey, he sat in his family’s living room at dusk, lit by a glowing iMac screen, and mused on Minecraft’s appeal. He stuck the mooshroom inside, where it would totter on and off the plates in an irregular pattern. He built a pen out of gray stones and installed “pressure plates” on the floor that triggered a trap inside the maze. Jordan realized he could harness the animal’s movement to produce randomness. One, a red-and-white cowlike critter called a mooshroom, is known for moseying about aimlessly. Then it hit him: the animals! Minecraft contains a menagerie of virtual creatures, some of which players can kill and eat (or tame, if they want pets). How to do it, though? He obsessed over the problem. That would really throw his friends off guard. But what he really wanted was a trap that behaved unpredictably. Jordan built a variety of obstacles, including a deluge of water and walls that collapsed inward, Indiana Jones-style. ![]() He recently read “The Maze Runner,” a sci-fi thriller in which teenagers live inside a booby-trapped labyrinth, and was inspired to concoct his own version - something he then would challenge his friends to navigate. Jordan wanted to build an unpredictable trap.Īn 11-year-old in dark horn-rimmed glasses, Jordan is a devotee of Minecraft, the computer game in which you make things out of virtual blocks, from dizzying towers to entire cities. ![]() I’m a big fan of the Nodus Compact Coin Wallet. Nodus covers the wallet with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty against material and manufacturing defects when used under normal conditions and for the purpose intended. The Compact Coin comes in four colors Chestnut Brown, Ebony Black, Dark Teal, and Taupe Grey. The zipper and surrounding material keep all of the wallet’s important contents secure inside despite my efforts to overload the wallet with credit cards and various shopper loyalty cards. It’s a bit too small for a full vehicle key, but works great for a house key or something smaller. The key compartment is much more useful and allows you to keep one emergency key on your person at all times. Any coins placed in the designated coin section inevitably end up dispersed throughout the wallet after the slightest bit of jostling. The one thing about the Compact Coin that’s both annoying and ironic is that it is definitely not useful for holding coins.

Ī few rides were closed and dismantled due to costly settlements and rising insurance premiums in the 1990s, and the park's attendance began to suffer as a recession early in that decade reduced the number of visitors. In September 1989, GAR tried and failed to negotiate a deal with International Broadcasting Corporation that would result in the sale of Vernon Valley/Great Gorge, and Action Park, for $50 million. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the original park, and as such, it was given nicknames such as " Traction Park", "Accident Park", and " Class Action Park". However, Action Park became infamous for poorly designed, unsafe rides under-aged, under-trained, and often under-the-influence staff intoxicated, unprepared visitors and a consequently poor safety record. The park entertained over one million visitors per year during the 1980s, with as many as 12,000 coming on some of the busiest weekends. Additional attractions would be built by 1980, and the park would evolve to a major destination with 75 rides (35 motorized, self-controlled rides and 40 water slides). For the summer of 1978, Mulvihill added two water slides and a go-kart track, and named the collection of rides the Vernon Valley Summer Park. The idea for the park began in 1976 when Eugene Mulvihill and his company, Great American Recreation, the owners of the recently combined Vernon Valley/Great Gorge ski area, wanted to find a way to generate revenue during the summer, so they opened a 2,700-foot-long (820 m) alpine slide down one of the steep ski trails. Two years later, the name was reverted to Mountain Creek Waterpark.Ĭhair lift to the top of the alpine slide, Action Park, August 1994. It was under the new ownership that the name of the water park was changed back to Action Park in 2014. In 2010, the Mountain Creek ski area and waterpark was sold to a group led by Eugene Mulvihill, the former owner of Vernon Valley/Great Gorge and the owner of the adjacent Crystal Springs Resort. After a massive overhaul, which included revamping rides and removing attractions deemed either outright unsafe or inappropriate relative to Intrawest's vision, the water park was reopened as Mountain Creek Waterpark. On February 9, 1998, Intrawest announced the purchase of the majority of the Vernon Valley/Great Gorge ski area, including the Action Park property. Despite this, the park was very popular and attracted thrill-seekers from across the New York metropolitan area. At least six people are known to have died as a result of mishaps on rides at the original park. Its predecessor, Action Park, one of the first modern American water parks, was open from 1978 until 1996 and became infamous for its poor safety record. The park consists primarily of water-based attractions and opened in 1998. ![]() ![]() Mountain Creek Waterpark is a water park located in Vernon, New Jersey, United States, on the grounds of the Mountain Creek ski resort. |
