Paul Stamets is the Pacific Northwest-based pioneer whose research into mushrooms and fungi for
their medicinal and ecological restoration potential has revolutionized and redefined the study of mycology.

He is author of six mushroom-related books including the highly-acclaimed Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save The World, and has personally written over 20 patents. He is an advisor to the Program for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona Medical School in Tucson, Arizona and his team’s research discoveries are part of two NIH-funded clinical studies on cancer using mushrooms as adjunct therapies.

Stamets’ analysis of the active antiviral properties of the wood conk Agarikon (above) led to his ongoing work with U.S. government’s Bioshield BioDefense program.

He is also currently working with EPA officials on mycological solutions to the Gulf oil spill. Stamets
has been featured in three films: Leo DiCaprio’s The 11th Hour, DIRT, and 2012: Time for Change, and was
selected to present at theprestigious TED foundation (www.ted.com).

Stamets founded Fungi Perfecti, LLC, in 1980.
