In this episode of Mattsplained, Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage explore a controversial proposal to save coral reefs by introducing heat-resistant species, debating the potential benefits and risks of this ecological experiment.
The duo then discusses a surprising study suggesting that a vegan diet might slow biological aging, though Matt cautions against seeing it as a fountain of youth.
Then they delve into the fungal future, exploring how mycelium-based materials could revolutionize industries from automotive to construction. From mushroom leather in luxury cars to the possibility of growing buildings, Matt paints a picture of a sustainable, fungus-powered world.
And then Matt discloses a secret.
