Upcycled Mushroom Chairs with Table Mushrooms have fascinated - and nourished and sometimes poisoned - humans for eons. "The remains of a caveman were recently found with mushrooms attached to his belt," Philip Ross says. "The Chinese have studied the mushroom and used the mushroom in medicine for 3,000 years." The Mycological Society of San Francisco ( www.mssf.org) promotes greater understanding of mushrooms, but information on mushrooms was not always easy to come by. "When I first started at this, it was pre-Internet," Ross recalls, "and most people who knew about mushrooms were so secretive." Ross' way into the field was through a writer named Paul Stamets. Still much consulted, one of Stamets' books, "Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World," puts scientific meat on the bones laid out by Ross in his class. With only an estimated 10 percent of mushroom species identified, there's much work yet to be done in the field of mycology. A would-be mycologist - or would-be maker of mushroom furniture - has some basic terminology to master.
