An article on mycelium that doesn't call them mushroom roots!
But then it goes on to call mushrooms byproducts... they're fucking sex organs/fruits. No more a byproduct than penises, vaginas, sperms and eggs.
:/
My god, we can't have that, somebody think of the children! 😱
Now I Question why this should be better than wood? While trees grow fine in nature without human presence, the Mushrooms breeding has to be closely monitored and energy has to be invested into nutrients and temperature regulation. Maybe wood and Mushrooms could be combined but I do not see this completely remove the wood use case.
If I had to guess the answer would be time and land usage. A single humidity and temperature controlled facility could likely produce huge amounts of densely packed mycelial wood substitute compared to a huge forestry area that takes many years.

I'm waiting for enzyme bonded concrete ^^
Pretty sure this is how The Last of Us started.
Love folks trying new stuff in the construction space. Concrete produces a lot of CO2, but it also lasts forever if you don't demolish it. Seems like the material benefits from having forms (unless I misread it). Would be interested to see how it pairs with a modular system like ICFs (IMFs in this case I guess lol).
You know. There's some new revolutionary housing material developed like every other year for the past 50 years, but nothing has changed. Seems odd.
My-COC-rete?
Smurf that nonsense, I don't want to live in a mushroom.
