It means we need more large scale weed growing. The article mentions scientist discovering a 91 acre mycorrhizae network in Michigan that can absorb the amount of carbon emitted by China. China is one of the biggest polluters today. What would happen if we were able to plant 500 acres of weed with a mycorrhizae network?

Plants and fungi together could slow climate change
A new global assessment shows that human impacts have greatly reduced plant-fungus symbioses, which play a key role in sequestering carbon in soils. Restoring these ecosystems could be one strategy to slow climate change.

would be cool to copy + paste the linked content here. Not clicking a MSN link personally. I digress.
Stamets has spoken at length about permaculture and the critical nature mycology plays in cleaning up the environment, and more specifically, in relation to big agriculture. Fungi are being looked at to clean up petroleum spill aftermath, recollect and rectify soils impacted by organic fertilizer (and overfertilization) runoff, assist in responsible wild land management, etc. This isn't new science, it's been studied for the past 30 years and only now that it's "hip" to eat and forage mushrooms is the general media picking up catchy headlines to gain clicks.
TL;DR: mushrooms have been here since before any mammal and they're what will be here after every mammal is gone. For our moment, maybe we be friends and make our inevitable extinction less traumatic.
