PERMACULTURE WITH A MYCOLOGICAL TWIST<br />

fungi in landscaping bark and wood chips.<br />

These mushrooms share a strong affin<strong>it</strong>y towards<br />

human activ<strong>it</strong>ies—from chopping wood,<br />

the planting of ornamentals, landscaping<br />

around buildings, to the creation of refuse piles.<br />

Many spir<strong>it</strong>ually inclined cultivators view the<br />

establishment of Sacred Psilocybe Mushroom<br />

Patches as another step towards living in harmony<br />

w<strong>it</strong>hin their ecosystem.<br />

These are but a few of the mushroom species<br />

that can be incorporated into the permaculture<br />

model. Part of a larger; commun<strong>it</strong>y-based<br />

permaculture strategy should also include<br />

Mushroom Response Teams (MRT's) which<br />

could react quickly to catastrophic natural disasters—such<br />

as hurricanes, tornadoes,<br />

floods—in the prof<strong>it</strong>able recycling of the enormous<br />

debris fields they generate.<br />

Clearly, the use of mushrooms raises<br />

permaculture to a level otherwise not attainable.<br />

I hope readers will develop such concepts further.<br />

When fungi are incorporated into these<br />

models, the ecological health of the whole<br />

planet will benef<strong>it</strong> enormously.<br />
