Scientists hoping to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry have developed a way to grow building materials using knitted molds and the root network of fungi. Although researchers have experimented with similar composites before, the shape and growth constraints of the organic material have made it hard to develop diverse applications that fulfill its potential.
Hold up, it’s mould would that not be bad for your lungs? Or just you know, stink in general
There are over 100,000 different types of mold. Not all types of mold are a threat, however.
It’s only the spores once they fruit. This is using the normally under-ground mycelium body of the fungus.
