"The application was ever so simple: a bag of woodchips impregnated with turkey tail spores left at the bottom of the river. The mycelia, or filament system of the mushroom, filtered out 80% of the E. coli, 83% of the phosphorous, and 35% of the nitrogen."

That title is making me feel like I am having a stroke.
Mushrooms are pretty awesome.
"The mushrooms in question were the very delicious and very helpful turkey tail..." No clue where this idea comes from. You can barely eat them. You could use them as chewing gum. But very delicious is a stretch.
Infected Mushroom is great.
And then at the end it says they can absorb nuclear fallout. Great idea, eat radioactive mushrooms.
That's how we get Mushroom Man!
lol
Ah!
That might explain why they are tripping with age verifications, jailing protestors and such...
