MUST HAVE books by Paul Stamets:

Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save The World
This book is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. 
Setting the stage for the mycorestoration revolution, Mycelium 
Running unveils new methods for growing mushrooms, generating 
mycelium, and implanting mushroom colonies into the environment. 
Capitalizing on the digestive power of mycelium, this pioneering book 
shows how to strengthen sustainability of habitats while providing a 
multitude of biological benefits. Based upon the premise that 
habitats and humans (animals) have immune systems, and that mushrooms 
are the beneficial bridges for both, Mycelium Running marks the dawn 
of a new era: the use of mycelial membranes for ecological health. 
Linking mushroom cultivation, permaculture, ecoforestry, 
bioremediation and soil enhancement, Stamets makes the case that 
mushroom farms can be reinvented as healing arts centers, steering 
ecological evolution for the benefit of humans living in harmony with 
its inhabitants. Four components of mycorestoration are described in 
detail.


Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, 3rd Edition
  By Paul Stamets. Expanded to 574 pages and more than 500 photographs 
and diagrams, this fully updated edition of the internationally 
acclaimed mushroom grower's guide adds 6 more mushroom species to the 
25 species already described. Advanced cultivation techniques for 
Agaricus brasiliensis, Pleurotus tuberregium, Sparassis crispa, 
Trametes versicolor, Tremella fuciformis and Agaricus brunnescens 
("Portobello") mushrooms are have been added to the Third Edition. 
This book covers in detail state-of-the-art commercial cultivation 
techniques, liquid culture inoculation methods, mycological 
landscaping, growing room and lab designs, troubleshooting and more. 
Commonly referred to as "The New Testament" by amateur and 
professional mycologists alike. The best book on mushroom cultivation 
just keeps getting better!
