From ecology to fermentation, in pop culture and in medicine - mushrooms are everywhere. Author Doug Bierend has written In Search of Mycotopia to uncover the vanguard of mycologists; growers, independent researchers, ecologists, entrepreneurs, and amateur enthusiasts exploring and advocating for fungi’s capacity to improve and heal. From decontaminating landscapes and waterways to achieving food security, he examines how humans can work with fungi to better live with nature—and with one another.
