[Scpg] Paul Stamets: Fungo to the rescue!

[Paul - Sierra Permaculture Guild]

Can mushrooms save the world?

Mycoremediation and fungi specialist Paul Stamets (author of *Mycelium
Running <http://fungiperfecti.com/books/stamets.html>* and *Growing Gourmet
and Medicinal Mushrooms* –
Bio<http://www.fungi.com/front/stamets/index.html>) thinks so. Stamets
recently published a novel and sustainable method of
dealing with the clean-up of radioactive soils and waste in Japan which was
a result of the disasterous 8.9 earthquake and tsunami that occurred in
March 2011.

Through the use of wood waste chipping, tree planting, and the innoculation
of wood waste with select species of fungus, Stamets proposes that the
radioactive fallout can be effectively remediated in a natural and effective
way.
