I disagree with basically all of that.

He say mycoremediation barely works and then literally describes mycoremediation. "so maybe just mix in some substrate, turn the soil and let nature do the rest"

>Regarding mycofiltration, doesn't really work and even if it did, wouldn't take long for the mycelium to go anarobic and die.

Then a sentence later.

>I have no idea if this works.

You know why that is? Because he hasn't done it.

>medicinal mushrooms shouldn't be sold as medicine until they are proven to work

They do work. Very well. 1000s of years of human history and 1000s of clinical trials have proven it. I had never heard of Alen Rockefeller before now, but with that one statement makes me think he's either retarded or disingenuous in his opinion.

Alan is quite well known and respected in the field. Fair enough pointing out he has no experience with mycoremediation, but I still find his opinion worth considering.
