Summary: Thoroughly Impressed - My "Book of the Year"
Comment: I found out about Paul Stamets after someone passed me a link to a video over at google where he spoke at a sustainability conference (hint "paul stamets lohas"). By the end of the video, I knew I'd be reading more. I'm ~100 pages in and am in awe with how much good information is in here. Breadth and depth. I'm constantly telling my wife about something I've read.
I'm a list maker and I really like easily accessible information. A good index, lots of charts and lists (though not simply as filler) make this book one that I'm sure I'll reference in the future.
This is a "good book" in the sense that you don't mind telling people "no" if they take an interest and ask to borrow it.
I wish Stamets had political connections or something because he could get a lot of meaningful work accomplished. I'm not saying that he hasn't been productive. In actuality, he seems to be extremely busy with all of his research and experiments. What I'm trying to say is, "imagine what this guy could accomplish with $100 million!"
Since the above wish is unlikely, I'll settle for wishing Stamets a long and healthy life because I'm convinced his contributions are enough to save the world.
Incredible.

Summary: Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
Comment: In an era in which everything seems to be going wrong, there is a beam of hope for the future. Author Paul Stamets' research, beautiful photographs, and articulated passion for fungi provide a framework for remediation of a significant number of the world's ills. Radiation leaks? Oil Spills? Running out of fossil fuels? Soil weak? Heck, termites invading your home? He's got an answer, and it's edible, to boot.
Fascinating, accessible, and full of easily-applicable strategies, this book can transform your outlook on the future of the world.

Summary: An amazing book
Comment: This is a book that should be on every gardener's bookshelf. You learn that there is far more to building soil than just adding compost. Inoculate the soil with mushrooms and you can harvest food while you improve your soil and everyone's environment. Get this book and don't just read it. Put it into practice and improve the world.
