In search of mycotopia : citizen science, fungi fanatics, and the untapped potential of mushrooms / Doug Bierend. by Bierend, Doug, author. White River Junction, Vermont : Chelsea Green Publishing, [2021] Subjects Mycology.   Mushrooms.   Fungi. ISBN:  9781603589796 (hardcover) : 1603589791 (hardcover) : Description:  327 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "An engaging and thrilling tour of the new frontiers in mycology-from ecology to fermentation to medicine-introducing the reader to the fascinating characters involved in the fungal Renaissance. Fungi are fundamental to life. As decomposers, they are critical to the formation and sustenance of soils and ecosystems. As endlessly innovative chemists, they devise and secrete enzymes that can break down a vast variety of materials, mitigate bacterial and viral infections, and interact-for better or worse-with the bodies and brains of animals that consume their fruiting bodies, commonly called mushrooms. Given their ubiquity and utility, it's no surprise that humans have deep cultural connections to fungi and mushrooms, even while they have remained both understudied by institutional science and misunderstood by the general populace. But an emerging mycological vanguard is reaching maturity, exploring and advocating for fungi's capacity to remediate contaminated landscapes and waterways, provide food and medicine, and demonstrate how humans might live in equitable and sustainable accord with nature and one another. This diverse cadre of growers, independent researchers, ecologists, entrepreneurs, and amateur enthusiasts is also scrambling to seize on rising demand for specialty mushrooms in culinary and medicinal markets, advance burgeoning fields of 'applied mycology,' and center conversations about social justice and sustainability. In In Search of Mycotopia, Doug Bierend introduces readers to an incredible and oft-overlooked kingdom of life and the potential it holds for our future, by way of the weird and wonderful communities of citizen scientists and microbe devotees working on the fungal frontier. Together they form a picture of the modern mycological movement, which sees these organisms as teachers, partners, and sources of wisdom that offer ways and means for creating a better world"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 579.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 597.5 Bierend Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 597.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 597.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 597.5 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.5 Bi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
