## Overview

Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets is a groundbreaking guide revealing how mushrooms and their mycelium networks can restore ecosystems, break down toxins, control pests, and enhance soil health. Combining science, practical methods, and environmental vision, this book empowers readers to harness fungi for a sustainable future.

## Description

Mycelium Running is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. That’s right: growing more mushrooms 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. The 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). In 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.

Review: Explaining the Wood Wide Web - "Mycelium Running" is an electrifying read that takes you on a wild journey into the magical world of fungi! Written by the master of mycology, Paul Stamets, this book is packed with mind-blowing information on how these tiny organisms can change the world. The book starts by diving deep into the mysterious underground network of mycelium, the foundation of the mushroom ecosystem. You'll learn how these tiny threads can break down dead plant matter and form partnerships with plants that will blow your mind! But the fun doesn't stop there, Stamets then takes you on a rollercoaster ride of discovery as he uncovers the many ways in which mushrooms and other fungi can be used to benefit the environment and human health. From their medicinal properties, like boosting the immune system and fighting cancer, to their role as a natural pest control in agriculture, to their ability to clean up environmental toxins, this book has got it all! But the best part is yet to come, Stamets emphasizes the importance of preserving biodiversity and the relationship between the health of the mycological realm and the planet. He encourages readers to embrace the fungal kingdom and explore its many wonders. So grab a seat, buckle up and get ready for an exhilarating ride into the world of fungi with "Mycelium Running"!
Review: What do “fun-guys” (fungi) “know” … maybe more than you would ever think. - Good book for “fun-guys” (AKA fungi) 😊 There are so many times we are so “busy” from hither to yon that we often miss the wee things passing by with no attention. And yet, if it wasn’t for the very grounds that we walk on with minds “occupied” by other digital matters. Good book. I appreciate that I got the plastic coated and spiral bound. Also, pictures and diagrams are very complementary to the text.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mycelium Running How Mushrooms can Save the World
*by J***E on April 16, 2015*

I am interested in learning about many ways to inexpensively conserve moisture in my garden. This book is well written, in that it has easy to understand parts for hands-on projects and more detailed text and data in tables and graphs for those who have a scientific background. There is a glossary for much of the terminology, and many photographs. The basic concept is that the reason compost works is that the mycelium, sometimes seen as a whitish webby layer in large compost heaps actually helps plants and trees use water more efficiently. There are greater implications in this discovery, among many of great benefits in heath and medicine, that toxic sites and polluted waters can be cleaned with certain forms of mycelium. I've composted for many years, and save all my leaves for much. Now I understand why that works, and have some new ideas to improve mulching. The larger scope of environments interconnectedness is very interesting. This is a good book on many levels of interests, but it is not an ID or cookbook or medical advice, it covers much broader potential that science is just learning.
