Greetings Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone out there has any more information
about mycofiltration than what was published in Paul Stamets
new book "Growing Medicinal and Gourmet Mushrooms" ? It seems
that he has a method that utilizes a mushroom bed (Stropharia 
rugoso-annulata) to reduces fecal bacteria before releasing 
to the watershed. 

Is anyone doing this on a large scale anywhere? Also does
the absorption of this "crap" seem to cause any adverse
mutations in the resulting fruitbodies?
