Mycelium Design
Growing products from fungus could be the start of a "biotechnological revolution".
We currently live in a consumption-oriented society within which is rather fundamental to be able to find alternatives, in regards to the impact that products and the materials they consist of originate (e.g. pollution on every level of the ecosystem). To this end, the ambitious aim of developing innovative and impact-less products is one of the great challenges the society must deal with. Within such context, an innovative an unique approach can be found by implementing fungal mycelium for the development of completely new materials.
