How Mushrooms Can Save The World
Here is an amazing and interesting fact; did you know that certain mushroom mycelium can eat oil? Yes that is what I said, mycelium can eat oil and therefore help clean up an oil spill.
A variety of Oyster mushrooms have proven to be extremely efficient at consuming oil and turning it into a non-toxic compost in less than 3 months.
Clearly this is a viable solution and we should be jumping at the chance to use it with the most recent spill. I would hope that all the top scientists and companies related to this disaster would be investigating this concept to the fullest extent. Sadly we are not hearing any recent news or anything updated on this topic.

another wonder, able to help oil spills in the ocean/mycelium eating the oil. Mussels filter Lake Erie scumy water just look it up. You would be surprized that organic species are able to colonize to heal the earth and our bodies. More research must be done... DRF Holistic Methods.
