If you want to build sustainable distributed organizations, you should study the patterns of the most sustainable distributed organizations on the planet: mushrooms 🍄

- [[Mycopunk]] principles
	1. REGENERATIVE/REMEDIAL/POSITIVE SUM: First responder in ecosystem regeneration. Digests externally, producing materials for life to exist. Breaks down plastic, oil, hydrocarbons. Stimulates neuronal regrowth.
	2. HUMBLE: Growing where nothing else will grow. On a pile of shit, out of sight, in the lowest of the low.
	3. NETWORKED/DISTRIBUTED/ANARCHIST: No central command. Local subsidiarity, problem solving at the edges.
	4. ANTI-FRAGILE: Disturb a mycelial network, and it grows more dense.
	5. FRACTAL: Self-similar structures up & down.
	6. MUTUALIST/COOPERATIVE/INTEROPERABLE/COMPOSABLE:  Interfaces intelligently with many different species with positive sum outcomes (most of the time - nature is also [brutal](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-this-zombie-fungus-turns-cicadas-into-horror-movie-sex-bots/)).
	7. EMERGENT/ADAPTIVE: Constantly adapting new strategies, power sources (e.g. nuclear radiotrophic mushrooms)
	8. POLYCENTRIC: Local diversification/specialization as required. E.g. nearby penicillin factory for battling bacteria
	9. CONSOLIDATE POWER UNDERGROUND: power base established before presenting itself to the world
	10. REDISTRIBUTIVE: Effective resource allocation networks for getting nutrients around a network (water, carbon, antibacterial compounds, etc)
	11. CONTINUOUS FLOW: Persistent, circular flows.  Not discrete. No hoarding.
	12. OPTIMISTIC:  Building for a better future.
	13. UBIQUITOUS:  Ever present, persistent. Ancient.
