Stamets has been doing tests with beekeepers, having them give some of their hives sugar water with 1% (maybe lower) mycelium extract, which he says contains antiviral and antimicrobial properties. I think he’s testing extracts from a number of species too. Anyway, he says the results are great—IIRC none of the hives given extract collapsed. That said, I haven’t heard anything about him bringing this to market, which is frustrating. I’d rather rely on strengthening an eons-old symbiosis than a newly-engineered bacteria. EDIT: see my other comment, this should be selling later this year,
