Fungal enzyme paper process

Paul Stamets advocates fungi as a solution to many environmental problems. I consider another idea that might also apply fungal enzymes, especially in paper pulping. right now, either a mechanical or chemical pulping removea lignin from base fibers. While mechanical pulping uses no harsh chemicals, it damages fibers by shortening fiber length and decreasing paper quality. chemical pulping preserves fiber length for higer quality paper, but uses harsh chemicals.

Many fungal enzymes degrade lignin, without harsh chemicals. My idea would remove lignin or other byproducts with selected fungal enzymes in a less hazardous chemical pulping process. This might make bamboo a commercially viable and friendly paper fiber source, competitive with current technology.
