Yes, you heard right: growing more mushrooms may be the best thing we can do to save the environment. 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 fungi expert Paul Stamets has discovered is that mycelium also breaks down hydrocarbons —the base structure in many pollutants. So, for instance, when soil contaminated with diesel oil is inoculated with strains of oyster mushroom mycelia, the soil loses its toxicity in just eight weeks. In MYCELIUM RUNNING, Stamets discusses this revolutionary trend in mushroom cultivation and provides tips for choosing the appropriate species of fungi for various environmental purposes. 231895 15 10 2005 Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World total:141|5:80|4:46|3:13|2:1|1:1| 141 626 363 51 5 1 false false Wed Jun 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 15:18:22 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 15:24:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Sun Jan 20 16:42:58 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 16:49:42 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 02 22:33:11 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 02 22:46:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Aug 02 11:40:18 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 25 22:16:07 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 02 11:40:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 06 12:05:28 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 12:27:59 -0800 2009
