Mushrooms: 6 ways fungus can help save the world

Changing Perceptions: Meet Mycologist Paul Stamets.

“Mushroom growing isn’t just a rapidly expanding agribusiness; it’s also a significant tool for the restoration, replenishment and remediation of Earth’s overburdened ecosphere. Like most people, we at Fungi Perfecti are concerned about the depletion of resources, loss of habitat and release of toxic substances into the environment. We’d like to show you some of the many ways in which the cultivation of mushrooms can help to tip the scales in Nature’s favor, thereby benefiting all the inhabitants of Planet Earth.” – Mycologist, Paul Stamets.

INFLECTION POINT - A Cardboard Box to Save the World
Historically the life cycle of packaging materials and congregated boxes ended after their contents reached their final destination.  At best a box becomes feed stock for recycling at worst it goes to a landfill as solid waste.  Today; enter LifeBox; corrugated boxes and soon shipping envelopes that after finishing their initial purpose can serve a greater good.  Each box is infused with enough tree seedlings and plant enhancing mycelium to produce a small forest of 200 trees.
