Bad Fungi Versus Good Fungi
Fungi aren't all the same. Some harm living plants and animals, while others break down dead material and return nutrients to the soil. Species like Stropharia rugosoannulata belong to the latter group, playing an essential role in ecosystems without competing against other organisms.
The Characteristics of Stropharia Rugosoannulata
Stropharia rugosoannulata is built for decomposition. It breaks down tough plant material like wood by digesting lignin and cellulose, feeding soil microbes and unlocking nutrients that support long-term soil health.

Why Use Mycelium To Break Down Poop In The Backcountry?
Mycelium produces enzymes that help break down human waste faster while supporting soil biology. In backcountry environments where conditions vary widely, it helps reduce lingering pathogens and supports a cleaner, more complete decomposition process.

5 Mind-Blowing Mycelium Facts
Mycelium is the root system for fungi and nature’s great decomposer. It branches out underground in a network, breaking down organic and inorganic matter. While mushrooms are all the rage (and for good reason), mycelium may be one of the most interesting areas in science and technology. Check out this run-down of the five coolest facts and tech applications for mycelium.
