	Mycoremediation: Fungal Bioremediation	Harbhajan Singh	An encyclopedic examination of the application of fungi in bioremediation, this book gives an overview of the science today and covers all aspects of this multidisciplinary field. It provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals and progresses to practical applications, and features step-by-step guidance for a myriad of effective techniques to identify, select, and apply fungi towards the remediation of contaminated sites. 592 pages, hardcover.	1500
	Fungi in Bioremediation	Geoff M. Gadd	Volume 23 in the Symposium Series of the British Mycological Society, this text discusses the potential of filamentous fungi in bioremediation. Serious attention is devoted to the physiology and biochemistry of organic and inorganic pollutant transformations. 496 pages, Hardcover.	1500
	Mycelium Running – How Mushrooms can Help Save the World	Paul Stamets	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: Mycofiltration: the filtration of biological and chemical pathogens as well as controlling erosion. Mycoforestry and mycogardening: the use of mycelium for companion cultivation for the benefit and protection of plants. Mycoremediation: the use of mycelium for decomposing toxic wastes and pollutants. Mycopesticides: the use of mycelium for attracting and controlling insect populations. The newly updated version contains more pages, more full-color photos, and new information on a wide variety of mycological topics, including: Prototaxites, a giant fungus dotting the landscapes of Earth and was the tallest organism on land 420 million years ago The role of oxalic acid and calcium oxalates in sequestering carbon dioxide and building the carbon bank Psathyrella aquatica nom. prov., the first underwater mushroom Gamma radiation giving fuels the metabolism of fungi analogous to light energizing plants New information on antimicrobial properties of mushrooms Moreover, Mycelium Running has chapters on nutrition, medicinal properties, log and stump culture, natural culture, using easy to use and low-tech techniques, and much more. In total, 28 species are fully described. Heavily referenced and beautifully illustrated, this book is destined to be a classic reference for generations to come. Softcover, 356 pages, with over 360 color photographs.	800
