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.

After years of living in awe of the mysterious fungi known as mushrooms-chefs, health enthusiasts, and home cooks alike can't get enough of these rich, delicate morsels. With updated production techniques for home and commercial cultivation, detailed growth parameters for 31 mushroom species, a trouble-shooting guide, and handy gardening tips, this revised and updated handbook will make your mycological landscapes the envy of the neighborhood.

From the author of GROWING GOURMET AND MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS comes the only identification guide exclusively devoted to the world's psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Detailed descriptions and color photographs for over 100 species are provided, as well as an exploration of their long-standing (and often religious) use by ancient peoples and their continued significance to modern-day culture. Some of the species included have just been discovered in the past year or two, and still others have never before been photographed in their natural habitats.

The book you are about to read is a milestone in the new awareness of mushrooms. The Mushroom Cultivator by Paul Stamets and J.S. Chilton is easily the best source of information on growing mushrooms at home. The authors demystify the art of mushroom cultivation and put mastery of it within everyone's reach. If you have been searching for information on this topic, you will find it to be all that you have been looking for. Includes detailed growth requirements for 15 mushroom species, sterile culture and mushroom spawn preparation techniques, procedures for strain selection and development, practical preparation methods for compost and bulk substrates, the mushroom life cycle and mushroom genetics, identification of the major competitor molds, pathogens and pests, and guidelines for the construction of mushroom growing rooms.

MycoMedicinals:an Informational Treatise on Mushrooms, Third EditionBy Paul Stamets. Written by a mycologist and mushroom cultivator with more than 30 years of experience in the field, this full-color resource guide describes and documents the health benefits of 17 different species of mushrooms. Newly updated and expanded, MycoMedicinals: an Informational Treatise on Mushrooms includes answers to frequently asked questions and an extensive bibliography. 96 pages, softcover.

A full-color guide to psilocybin mushrooms—how to forage, identify, grow, and use them—with detailed descriptions, 300 stunning photographs, tips for dosing safely, and more, from a world-renowned mycologist.The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in using psilocybin (aka psychoactive or “magic”) mushrooms for recreational and medicinal purposes.In this comprehensive, full-color reference, Paul Stamets offers descriptions and 300 photographs of more than 60 psilocybin varieties and their lookalikes common to North America, Europe, and Australasia. He outlines the history and cultural use of magic mushrooms in traditional rituals and ceremonies, their natural geographic distribution and habitats, and keys to growing your own mushroom patch. But perhaps most important, Stamets explains how to reliably distinguish between a non-poisonous, psychoactive mushroom and one of its highly toxic, even deadly, lookalikes.Packed with a lifetime of scientific and real-world research, Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats brings depth and understanding to an often-misunderstood topic. Revealing the potential of these powerful, mind-awakening fungi to help us live better, happier lives through micro- and macro-dosing, this handbook is an indispensable—and potentially lifesaving—addition to mushroom field guides from the biggest name in mycology.

Paul STAMETS est l'un des grands spécialistes du sujet, mondialement reconnu. Un livre attendu, à destination de tout public, sur les champignons et leurs usages en médecine, alimentation, agriculture, dépollution des sols et des écoulements d'eau, régénération et protection des écosystèmes, doublé d'un manuel pratique pour la culture chez soi de champignons gastronomiques. Un livre brillant, nous faisant faire un bon dans notre compréhension du vivant, grâce notamment aux expériences scientifiques de l'auteur et celles de la communauté scientifique mondiale. Richement illustré de belles photos, c'est un livre particulièrement pédagogique.Relecture technique de la version française par Guillaume EYSSARTIER - chercheur mycologue au muséum national d’histoire naturellePréface 1 : Claude et Lydia BOURGUIGNONPréface 2 : Hervé COVESThématiques abordées par le livre :mycélium, culture et reconnaissance des champignons, alimentation, médecine, dépollution, régénération des écosystèmes, cultures associées avec les cultures agricoles, forestières et potagères, ...« Les systèmes mycéliens établissent aussi un pont avec les méthodes innovantes de permaculture prônées par Bill Mollison, qui renforcent la durabilité à travers l'utilisation de systèmes naturels. Tous ces systèmes mettent en œuvre les synergies entre communautés biologiques et puisent leur force de la biodiversité. Nous comprenons de mieux en mieux la durabilité, et, pour moi, les systèmes de régénération mycologique, de permaculture, et des « machines vivantes » constituent les trois composantes essentielles d'un nouveau modèle de régénération des habitats. » Paul STAMETS

Et si les champignons pouvaient sauver l'environnement et le monde ? Dans ce texte révolutionnaire, l'expert en champignons Paul Stamets, vous explique comment.Le mycélium - les cellules microscopiques qui donnent les champignons - recycle naturellement le carbone et l'azote pour créer des éléments bénéfiques. Stamets a découvert que nous pourrions utiliser ce superpouvoir pour décomposer les déchets toxiques et les polluants, contrôler les populations d'insectes et améliorer la santé de nos forêts et de nos jardins.Autrement dit, sauver l'environnement !
