In recent months
there has been a spate of national news
reports on the successful use of
mushrooms and other fungi to return an environment
(usually soil) contaminated by pollutants to a less contaminated state. This innovative and earth-friendly process,
called Myco-remediation will be the topic of a new SLI workshop on
Sunday
August 24, in
San Francisco.
It is definitely worth checking out. As an added bonus you will also learn home
mushroom cultivation techniques you can use to enjoy a savory, abundant harvest
in your own backyard.
