> Solutions from Nature: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
>
> Paul Stamets will discuss the evolution of mushrooms in ecosystems  
> and how fungi can help heal environments. As environmental health  
> and human health are inextricably interconnected, fungi offer unique  
> opportunities that capitalize on mycelium's diverse properties.  
> Fungi are the grand molecular dis-assemblers in nature, decomposing  
> plants and animals, creating soils.  Forest dwelling mushroom  
> mycelium can achieve the greatest mass of any living organism - this  
> characteristic is a testimonial to the inherent biological power of  
> the fungus.
> 	Paul will demonstrate that mycelium offers many of the solutions we  
> sorely need.
>
> Stamets' short bio:
> Paul Stamets has been a dedicated mycologist for over thirty years.  
> Over this time, he has discovered and coauthored four new species of  
> mushrooms, and pioneered countless techniques in the field of edible  
> and medicinal mushroom cultivation. He received the 1998 "Bioneers  
> Award" from The Collective Heritage Institute, and the 1999 "Founder  
> of a New Northwest Award" from the Pacific Rim Association of  
> Resource Conservation and Development Councils. In 2008, Paul  
> received the National Geographic Adventure Magazine's Green-Novator  
> and the Argosy Foundation's E-chievement Awards. He was also named  
> one of Utne Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World" in  
> their November–December 2008 issue.
> 	He has written six books on mushroom cultivation, use and  
> identification.	
> 	Married to C. Dusty Yao, a plant finatic, who shares a passion for  
> fungi, their love of the Old Growth forests, and that people  
> properly armed with fungi can help save the planet.
