Paul Stamets is an American mycologist and the author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World. He also owns and operates Fungi Perfecti, an online store selling mushroom cultivation kits and supplies.
Stamets explains that research has proven that fungi can repel crop eating insects in the fields and prevent termites from eating your house.
Last month, Evan spoke with Stamets about his conviction that mushrooms can save the world.
