The Mycoremediation Reddit

Mycoremediation - a form of bioremediation in which fungi-based technology is used to decontaminate the environment. Fungi have been proven to be a very cheap, effective and environmentally sound way for helping to remove a wide array of toxins from damaged environments or wastewater. The toxins include heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, textile dyes, leather tanning industries, petroleum fuels, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, pesticides and herbicide, in land, sweet water and marine environments. The byproducts of the remediation can be valuable material themself, such as enzymes (like laccase), edible or medicinal mushrooms, making the remediation process even profitable.

Mycoremediation for Wastewater

Hello! I’m looking for any info on companies who are using mycoremediation for wastewater? I’ve found phyto and vermi bioremediation companies but no shroom based ones so far sadly

Mycology and the keyline design process

I’ve recently been reading books about this keyline design process. Where you integrate the native plants and other erosion control measures to increase groundwater levels. I’m wondering if anyone’s heard of any books or papers going over techniques on incorporating mycology into stuff like that? I’ve read the books Mycelium Running, and a Microrhizae Planet And I’ve been trying to figure out how to micology into local restoration projects. I really haven’t found what I’m looking for yet besides a few sections which talk about spreading oyster mushrooms under mulch being used for erosion control on logging roads in mycelium running

Who's still doing Mycoremediation experiments?

What's up everyone! I recently stumbled across Mycoremediation in my research of Fungi and using Mycelium for alternative materials. I am working on a project where we are creating a beginners guide to fungi research and I'd like to add in a Mycoremediation experiment. I am also looking for people who are interested in helping me build this project.

I am working with Valley DAO, you can find them here: https://twitter.com/valley_dao

I am looking for people who can contribute to building the experiment step by step based on your own experience. General interest is also welcome. DM me!

Mycoremediation?

I have been looking to invest in the mycoremediation space but am struggling to find any publicly listed companies. MycoKind, Fungi Perfecti, Mycocycle, Novobiom, Almadius etc are all private. Maybe someone knows more than I do about this and could help me out or even just jump in to discuss. This really is an amazing application and should be used all across the world.

Mycoremediation experiment - advice needed!

Hi folks

I am a gardener based in the UK, and I'm just about to embark on my first bioremediation experiment with some friends with some grey water contaminated with PAH's (and who knows what else). We have access to an art / science lab space and we're in the beginning stages of designing our experiment, starting with mycofiltration.

I'd really love to discuss this with anyone who has carried out a similar project, (especially in the UK if possible), who could advise us as we get to grips with this.

There are just 3 of us working on this at the moment, with some knowledge of mushroom cultivation but with limited scientific experience.

Any help or signposting would be much appreciated! Thanks

A company that actually does mycoremediation

I couldn't respond to the earlier post asking for companies that actually do mycoremediation professionally, but I had come across one while researching the topic. Here's a link to their website: https://mushroommountain.com/

I would love it if this was a viable thing that people/companies considered implementing. If I could do this with my life, I would!

Solar Farm Remediation

In my professional life I build solar farms typically 20-100 acres in area. Often these projects require clear cutting, stumping and grading (I morally struggle with this aspect of my job) which creates tons of mud and potential for storm water runoff and siltation. Temporary and long term stabilization of land is a problem for all projects like this. I need to stabilize quickly, cheaply and in a way to sustain long term vegetation (typically grasses). Really interested in how fungi could be integrated into this process or perhaps create additional revenue with harvesting mushrooms. Any ideas?

Companies that ACTUALLY implement this?

Hi everyone,

I'm neck deep in researching about mycoremediation, and wanted to see how many companies there are out there physically cleaning up the environment... Other than some random company called Oil Spill Eater International I have not found much :( please prove me wrong!

Mycoremediation enthusiast

Hello! I'm a student looking to grow my own mushrooms in order to remediate cardboard. Does anyone have any useful resources to help with such a project?

Hard Water Remediation

It has recently come to my attention that there is a community just outside of Austin where the water is so hard that they cannot drink it and it destroys appliances within a couple years. I'm wondering if anyone here has any information related to projects that use mushrooms for hard water remediation and/or the best test kits to be able to determine whether or not the water may also be contaminated by some sort of industrial chemicals.

Would be a citizen-lead volunteer effort.

A Literature Review

Hello Everyone, I have completed my B.Tech In civil engineering and thinking about applying for masters in environmental engineering for that I want to publish a literature review on a topic related to Wastewater treatment. I would really appreciate any burning questions or topic suggestions or any kind of help related to it. Thanks
