Paul Stamets has come up with those possibilities by observing an area of the natural world most of us have ignored. He has directed his attention to mushrooms and mycelium and has used his unique intelligence and intuition to make discoveries of great practical import. I think you will find it hard not to share the enthusiasm and passion he brings to these pages. \n\u003cbr\u003e--From the foreword by Andrew Weil, MD, author of \n\u003ci\u003eEating Well for Optimum Health\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Stamets is a visionary emissary from the fungus kingdom to our world, and the message he's brought back in this book, about the possibilities fungi hold for healing the environment, will fill you with wonder and hope.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e --Michael Pollan, author of \n\u003ci\u003eThe Botany of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is the kind of book I love: highly factual and practical and mixed with the spiritual content that sets the great writers apart from all the rest.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e--John Norris, former deputy commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and founder of the Bioterrorism Institute \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is the first book to give the Kingdom of the Fungi its proper place in the scheme of things.

He is the 1998 recipient of the Collective Heritage Institute's Bioneers Award and the 1999 recipient of the Founder of a New Northwest Award from the Pacific Rim Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils. Stamets has written five books on mushroom cultivation, use, and identification and numerous articles and scholarly papers on medicinal, culinary, and psycho-active mushrooms.

That's right: growing more \n\u003ci\u003emushrooms\u003c\/i\u003e may be the best thing we can do to save the environment, and in this groundbreaking text from mushroom expert Paul Stamets, you'll find out how. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe basic science goes like this: 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 in the creation of rich new soil. What Stamets has discovered is that we can capitalize on mycelium's digestive power and target it to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants (mycoremediation), catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds (mycofiltration), control insect populations (mycopesticides), and generally enhance the health of our forests and gardens (mycoforestry and myco-gardening). \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this comprehensive guide, you'll find chapters detailing each of these four exciting branches of what Stamets has coined \"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 bemushroomed generations to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stamets, Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ten Speed Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e October 01, 2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Gardening|Techniques|Organic|Gardening|Edible \u0026amp; Medicinal|Vegetables|Nature|Plants|Fungi \u0026amp; Mushrooms|Nature|Environmental Conservation \u0026amp; Protection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Mycelium|Mushroom culture|Fungi|Ecology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580085793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e 1974805719ISBN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781580085793\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ten Speed Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46495148474499,"sku":"SP-9781580085793","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781580085793_1753770403116.png?v=1776825539","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/mycelium-running-how-mushrooms-can-help-save-the-world","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
