What if the solutions to cleaning up the most daunting 21st century disasters - such as oil spills and radioactivity from nuclear reactors - involved mushrooms? What if an unorthodox fungi expert in Olympia, Wash., knew the way? Would we take it?
Fungi are amazing creatures. Among other things, they have a fantastic capacity for breaking down hydrocarbon compounds, and will tackle just about anything made of such compounds -- including oil and its chemical cousins. Some fungi can detoxify radioactive materials, including soils. They form symbiotic relationships with plants. And they can provide marvelous foodstuffs for a starving planet.
