Do you think his ideas are worthy roger?

Ideas are like something else we all have.  One must act on those ideas to make them work or not work on a small scale.  At that time you can look for funding to take it larger if initial results show promise.

I'm not aware of any commercially viable ways to create fuel with fungi.  I think a more promising area of research would be to harvest metabolites for their plant hormones and fertilizer potential.

I myself am a worm farmer, and I am currently incorporating mycelium from a very broad range of fungi into my worm beds.  Adding active mycelium to my vermicompost.  A perfect soil ammendment or additive.

You wont beat the refineries that are currently implemented inside Saccharomyces cerevisiae by mere strain selection...

Which metabolites would this be?

And when you say act on those ideas wouldn't that be more for a new process or something of the sort? Like I would need the money to gather the materials to do something that people already know how to do: grow mushrooms and analyze the mushrooms for cellulose content. I'm not trying to see if I can commerically grow these novel mushrooms or try an experimental method to grow mushrooms. I would be building on other people's research.

and I was under the impression that microbes only integrated 20% of consumed organic molecules into their structure and fungi were closer to 50%

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast, and its metabolical pathways are closer to fungi. Also, it is better known and easy to manipulate. They are also already used to produce alcohols useful as an energy source (biofuels). There is a nice article of the journal nature about this. I can link it to you if you are interested.

Imho, a good fungus to use would be Phanerochaete chrysosporium  since his genome is already sequenced. You would have to overexpress the desired traits for bioremediation. However, i'm sure such strains already exists in the databases, you just have to search for them.

If not, Pleurotus ostreatus is also a good choice. His genome have been sequenced aswell.

Is that for bioremediation or is it for increasing suger integration
