Mycorrhizae may be the keystone to forest health and restoration practices. This research explores the impact of mycorrhizae on commercial, economic an d environmen tal syst e ms, e xamines relationships a mong types o f mycorrhizae, and depicts the process of human assistance in the carbon cycle and regeneration of polluted land through micoremediation practices. These practices provide regenerative habitats utilizing wood chips to create fungal spores or promote applica tions of spent mushroom subst rate to regenerate land victimized by toxic waste spills or other pollutants. The function, structure, and role of each mychorrizal or saprophytic fungal type are detailed wit h an exploration of the mann e r in which enzymes and nutrients break down and recycle materials such as leaf litter, herbicides, pesticides, oil spills, etc. The incentives essential to maintain and promote successful restoration are also detailed. Principles and management practices of micorestoration and Pleurotusostreatus (oyster mushrooms) are the main focus of this research. Manipulating mycelium and using these methods, the scientific community can work toward eradication of hunger and poverty worldwide via soil renewal and revegetation processes. This paper concludes by promoting coexistence, sustainability, and new policies requiring the implementation of micoremediation frontier science because micoremediation will protect fu ture generations from suffering the consequences
