Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
Research & scholarshipThe revivalScience & mycology
What it is
Paul Stamets, one of the most-cited figures in popular mycology, lays out a practical and conceptual guide to fungi and the mycelial networks beneath forest floors. The book covers mushroom cultivation and the role fungi play in ecosystems, including environmental remediation. It is not about psilocybin therapy; PMG includes it as foundational fungal-science context that grounds the broader knowledge base in credible mushroom biology rather than as a source on therapeutic use.
