Mother earth can take care of her own, better than we can anyway.

How is this news? It has been known for years. Fungi also collect radioactive particles in the ground their mycelium grow in and remove it by putting it in mushrooms so that animals can eat it and take it away.

Can’t eat radiation.
Can eat things that are radioactive. Then whatever ate then becomes radioactive and poops radioactive waste.

I believe that God has given us everything we need to have a good life. We just have to figure it out.

>> Cant eat radiation.
Plants do. Its called photosynthesis. Its not the entire diet, but it is the energy source that converts the food to nourishment. Thats probably what this fungi does.
