Lohas 2006, fungi, mycology, mushrooms, Paul
Stamets.
Paul Stamets has been a dedicated mycologist
for over thirty years. Over this time, he has
discovered and coauthored four new species of
mushrooms, and pioneered countless techniques
in the field of edible and medicinal mushroom
cultivation. He received the 1998 "Bioneers
Award" from The Collective Heritage
Institute, and the 1999 "Founder of a New
Northwest Award" from the Pacific Rim
Association of Resource Conservation and
Development Councils. In 2008, Paul received
the National Geographic Adventure Magazine's
Green-Novator and the Argosy Foundation's
E-chievement Awards.

| Lisa Gautier & Paul Stamets Response to SF Oil Spill- DAY 1 |
 |
hair and mushrooms probably aren't the first
things to come to mind when you're preparing
to clean up an oil spill. Yet that's exactly
what a team of volunteers have used to mop up
the errant oil slicks that have washed up on
beaches around San Francisco Bay.
Lisa Gautier, who provided the volunteers
with 1,000 hair mats, explained that hair
acts as a sponge, naturally absorbing the oil
from both air and water. She runs Matter of
Trust, a nonprofit that matches businesses'
donations to smaller, needy nonprofits; her
organization makes money in part by
collecting human hair from local salons,
sending them to Georgia to be woven into mats
before selling them to the SF Department of
the Environment to soak up used motor oil.
So where exactly do the mushrooms factor in?
Once the hair mats have absorbed the oil,
oyster mushrooms begin to grow on the mats,
consuming the viscous substance. After the
mushrooms have finished absorbing all the oil
- a process that takes about 12 weeks - the
hair mats can be reused as nontoxic compost.
The hair mats have already been put to good
use by over 700 volunteers. Gautier is hoping
her hair mats will catch on; she has already
contacted a Chinese company that specializes
in industrial-sized hair mats about providing
her with more and is considering making
larger sea booms by stuffing hair into nylon
stockings

| Mycélium - Paul Stamets |

Claude Bourguignon : "Ce sont les champignons
qui produisent l'humus"
How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
Paul Stamets, mycologue, nous explique :
Le pouvoir des champignons réside dans le
mycélium, réseau de "racines" des
champignons (en réalité le mycélium est le
champignon, la partie émergente étant son
organe reproducteur).
Le mycélium a au moins 3 grandes fonctions :
* sécrétion: il sécrète des enzymes
puissantes lui permettant de décomposer la
matière organique la plus résistante en
brisant les polymères en monomères. (bois
par exemple, Cf BRF, mais aussi les pires
polluants comme le pétrole).
* absorption: le mycélium absorbe et
transporte les éléments carboné
nécessaire à la vie dans la terre.
* via la mycorhization, il joue aussi un
rôle vital dans plusieurs écosystèmes en
contribuant à augmenter lefficacité de
labsorption de leau et des nutriments de
nombreuses plantes.
En contribuant à la décomposition de la
nécromasse (animale, végétale, fongique),
il améliore la partie organique du sol et
joue un rôle majeur dans le cycle du
carbone, relâchant une partie du carbone en
dioxyde de carbone dans latmosphère où les
plantes peuvent s'en nourrir, mais aussi en
contribuant au puits de carbone qu'est le
sol.
Restauration de l'humus, élimination des
polluants, production d'énergie (econol) ne
sont que quelques exemples de ce que Paul
Stamets nous explique :
"Comment les champignons peuvent aider Ã
sauver le monde".
