🌍 World Summary

Vision Statement

We have become a fungi maxing race. We have unlocked secrets and created products out of fungi to treat diseases and trauma. This world is beautiful, because we have found new ways through fungal biology research to help humanity.

🔬 Technology

Advanced Fermentation Techniques. This includes liquid fermentation and solid state fermentation.

Depression, Anxiety, nutrition, and waste recycling. Through FERMENTATION, humanity has harnessed molecules like Psilocybin and other bioactive molecules for the treatment of varying conditions. We have also used Fermentation to treat wastes from organic sources like farms, households and industries

What kind of AI exists in your world?

This AI is capable of creating advanced simulations of microbial interactions with substrates. This AI is created by ANTHROPIC (I use Claude btw😂🤓). The AI is trained on data from several interactions between micro organisms and varying Substrates. This AI can then go on to predict diverse microbial products with a fair degree of accuracy.

New or Reformed Institution

Major Tech companies (Meta, Alphabet,Open ai,Anthropic, Amazon) all come togheter to fund an initiative to explore the depths of FUNGAL BIOLOGY. PAUL STAMETS (FUNGI EXPERT), presides over the initiative. He guides and provides support for research into fungal biology across the globe. Fungal diseases are not left out. We have dedicated centres that help to fight existing fungal infections and we have areas that help unlock secrets of mushrooms that produce compounds like Psilocybin.

Transformed Sector

The entire world is transformed, our food, our everyday materials, every single aspect is touched…

Our current world battles with several challenges. Hunger, Malnutrition, depression, anxiety and disease. Through concerted efforts in fungal research, breakthroughs are made in the use of bioactive molecules to solve psychological issues. In no time, breakthroughs are also made in the use of fungi to create sustainable food sources, rich in nutrients. Furthermore, wastes from cities are transformed by specialist fungi into substrates for other processes.

A Major Crisis Overcome

In light of current happenings, things take an extreme turn when a certain fungus decimates banana trees across the globe. Governments begin to scramble and they pull resources togheter with big AI/Tech companies to research fungal diseases and fungal biology. Through this, a few remaining banana trees are saved and in the process several other pathways of fungal biology open up.This creates abundance in 2035.We even take mushrooms to the moon and mars. We carry fungi throughout the solar system

Why Is This a Desirable Existential Hope Future for Humanity?
