Habitats, like people, have immune systems, which become weakened due to stress, disease, or exhaustion. Mycorestoration is the use of fungi to repair or restore the weakened immune systems ofenvironments.Whether habitats have been damaged by human activity or natural disaster, saprophytic, endophytic, mycorrhizal, and in some cases parasitic fungi can aid recovery.MycofiltrationMycoforestryMycoremediationMycopesticidesMycorestoration involves using fungi to filter water (mycofiltration), to enact ecoforestry policy (mycoforestry) or co-cultivation with food crops (mycogardening, see part III), to denature toxic wastes (mycoremediation), and to control insect pests (mycopesticides).Mycorestoration is an infant science to humans, but a highly refined method used by nature for millions of years. As we open our eyes to the fungal opportunities, we soon see many mushrooms in their roles as environmental healers.These fine filaments function as a cellular net that catches particles and, in some cases, digests them. More than a mile of threadlike mycelial cells can infuse a gram of soil. Mycofiltration membranes can filter the following:pathogens including protozoa, bacteria, and viruses silt chemical toxinsThey can be installed around the following types of sites:farms and suburban and urban areasWatershedsFactoriesRoadsstressed, harmed, or malnourished habitatsInstallation of mycofiltration membranes can utilize debris from the following sources, which isthen inoculated with toxin-specific mushrooms :forests (brush, tree trimmings, wood chips)pulp, paper mills (cellulose, fiber, cardboard, or paper waste)city and rural recycling centers (yard waste)farms (straw, corncobs, cotton, coffee wastes, and so on)breweries (washed grains) and other industriesMycofiltration: Germination of the IdeaIn 1970s, while studying at the Evergreen State College near Olympia, Washington, I peered at fungi through a scanning electron microscope and found the patterns of mycelia fascinating.
