文档介绍：Habitats, like people, have immune systems, which e weakened due to stress, disease, or exhaustion.
Mycorestoration is the use of fungi to repair or restore the weakened immune systems of environments.
Whether habitats have been damaged by human activity or natural disaster, saprophytic, endophytic, mycorrhizal, and in some cases parasitic fungi can aid recovery.
Mycofiltration
Mycoforestry
Mycoremediation
Mycopesticides
Mycorestoration involves using fungi to filter water (mycofiltration), to enact ecoforestry policy (mycoforestry) or co-cultivation with food crops (mycogardening, see part III), to denature toxic wastes (mycoremediation), and to control insect pests (mycopesticides).
Mycorestoration is an infant science to humans, but a highly refined method used by nature for millions of years.
As we open our eyes to the fungal opportunities, we soon see many mushrooms in their roles as environmental healers.
These fine filaments function as a that catches particles and, in some cases, digests them.
More than a mile of threadlike mycelial cells can infuse a gram of soil.
Mycofiltration membranes can filter the following:
pathogens including protozoa,
bacteria, and viruses
silt
chemical toxins
They can be installed around the following types of sites:
farms and suburban and urban areas
Watersheds
Factories
Roads
stressed, harmed, or malnourished habitats
