"In order to determine what method of mycorestoration should be used, a damaged habitat should first be surveyed for its species mix. The resident species are nature's recommendations for habitat restoration."

"Visiting the contaminated habitat during the mushroom-forming season of a particular species is the best time to survey the site for naturally occurring mycoflora... Mushrooms proliferating there already tolerate the toxin."

"Additionally, if a toxin contaminates a habitat, mushrooms often appear that not only tolerate the toxin but also metabolize it as a nutrient or cause it to decompose."
