Stamets has done lots of great research in this field. Amazing guy! I have most of his books, loaded with good info . He has done a lot with bioremediation using mushrooms. In one they used soil soaked with diesel fuel from a DOT lot. There were a couple others test by people using chemicals , or bacteria etc to clean the soil. He mixed in oyster mushroom spawn into his pile. The oyster mushrooms broke almost all of the fuel down into harmless simple compounds in the process, cheaply cleaning the soil
