  Conscious Choice: Mushroom with a View
Stamets is, for all intents and purposes, a mushroom visionary with a firm grasp of the healing, environmental and planet-saving potential of mushrooms.
Stamets’ love affair with mushrooms began nearly 30 years ago, while he was still a young hippie and a hard-working logger who watched several of his friends die in the field from work-related injuries.
Stamets frames his argument to conservatives by explaining that the continued destruction of old-growth forests — in addition to the effects of pollution, global warming and topsoil erosion on ecosystems — has the effect of limiting our potential for discovering new medicines, new cures and new ways of defending against potential terrorist attacks.
