Yeah, in Mycelium Running, he talks about this and many other earth improving fungi technologies. Apparently, Psilocybes are some of the best of breaking down organophosphate i.e. pesticides and chemical weapons as these fungi use a great deal of phosphorous for production of certain compounds :wink: According to him, a non-fruiting strain could be developed to clean up war torn areas and over farmed, polluted areas. Now what's the fun in that? :lol: That guy is awesome and Mycelium Running is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read and re-read.
