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.

The author is THE guy you’d want teaching you about mycelium. You won’t find a better book than this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What do “fun-guys” (fungi) “know” … maybe more than you would ever think. *by T***E on July 12, 2025* 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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/106468987-mycelium-running-how-mushrooms-can-help-save-the-world](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/106468987-mycelium-running-how-mushrooms-can-help-save-the-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
