A pair of wild #mushroom foragers have transformed their passion into a startup in #Marquette. @MyconautMI not only provides tasty mushrooms to local eateries but also is working to develop technologies that use #fungi for toxin remediation.

Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi.
I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation.
Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.
@suttonking_ We have worked with our Anishinabek brothers and sisters here in our woods - weโre also focusing on remediation projects where ground water has been contaminated with PFAS
@suttonking_ Weโre collecting fungal species and gene sequencing as to better understand forest health. Weโre located in Marquette. Would love to help in any way we can ๐ miigwich
