Just stumbled on this outdated info on Stamets, in case anyone is interested. He's been busy since then, too.

Paul Stamets has written six books, several used as textbooks around the world by the gourmet and medicinal mushroom industry. Fungi Perfecti, LLC (www.fungi.com) was founded in 1980; it has four laboratories, 10,000 sq. ft. of clean rooms, and is equipped with 17 laminar flow benches for doing in vitro propagation work. The culture collection of Fungi Perfecti consists of hundreds of cultures of medicinal mushrooms, many isolated from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Stamets has received several environmental awards, including the 1998 "Bioneers Award" from The Collective Heritage Institute, and the 1999 "Founder of a New Northwest Award" from the Pacific Rim Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils. He is an advisor to the Program of Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, Tucson; serves on the Editorial Board of The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms, and was appointed to the G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices)/G.M.P. (Good Manufacturing Practices) advisory board of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia. Dr. Andrew Weil and David Eisenberg of Harvard Medical School are recommending Stamets' products for immune support. Stamets is the sole-source supplier and co-investigator of the first NIH-funded clinical study using medicinal mushrooms in the United States. He is involved in several other research trials ongoing and pending. His company is the sponsor of the Third International Medicinal Mushroom Conference to be held in Port Townsend, Washington Oct. 12-17, 2005 where researchers from around the world will convene to discuss the latest developments in the use of medicinal mushrooms as sources for new antiviral and anticancer drugs.
