Mycelium Running: A Manual for the Mycological Rescue of the Planet
In Mycelium Running, mushroom expert Paul Stamets presents a groundbreaking text on how growing more mushrooms may be the best thing we can do to save the environment.
Basic Science: Microscopic cells called “mycelium”—the fruit of which are mushrooms—recycle carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements as they break down plant and animal debris to create rich new soil. Stamets has discovered that we can harness mycelium’s digestive power to:
- Decompose toxic wastes and pollutants (mycoremediation)
- Catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds (mycofiltration)
- Control insect populations (mycopesticides)
- Enhance the health of our forests and gardens (mycoforestry and myco-gardening)
Comprehensive Guide: This guide includes chapters detailing each of these four branches of “mycorestoration,” as well as chapters on the medicinal and nutritional properties of mushrooms, inoculation methods, log and stump culture, and species selection for various environmental purposes. Heavily referenced and beautifully illustrated, this book is destined to be a classic reference for generations to come.
