Description
Summer Oyster mushroom spawn has been used in ground-breaking mycofiltration project run by Flete Field Lab, aiming to show how native Oyster Mushrooms can assist in removing pollutants from soil and waterways.
Flete Field Lab is a land-based experimental programme of soil and water regeneration trials. Working predominantly on tributaries leading into the Erme River in South Devon. We use small scale mycofiltration trials to test whether this extraordinary and under researched kingdom of fungi can support the ‘cleaning’ of water. Mycofiltration can remove harmful pollutants like petrochemicals or bacteria and in some cases even heavy metals.
