“Mushrooms are here to help us—they’re a gift,” Ayers told NBC. “There’s so much we can do with them beyond just food; it’s so limitless. They’re our biggest ally for helping the environment.”
The canoe is made of mycelium—the dense, fibrous, underground material that links together the various fruiting parts (the toadstools we see on the ground or our dinner plates).

Omgosh.
I watched that movie when only a youngster on a Saturday Afternoon Matinee Horror screening.
It caused me to avoid mushrooms in ANY form for decades.
We’re talking DECADES.
I could not be paid enough money to watch that movie again, and I’m in my 60s.
For some unknown reason that particular movie just tripped my mental circuit breaker.
Yes, I do eat mushrooms now. LOL
Still, wouldn’t watch that movie.
I grew a canoe once, or something like that.
Very original and innovative. Good for her!
I concur. This is pretty neat and she clearly works hard and thinks outside the box.
P.S. - I love mushrooms!
It must take a lot of "fossil fuels" to maintain the special room at 90 degrees and 100% humidity for three months.
Birch bark or animal hides would be a lot more environmentally friendly. Even aluminum.
A friend of mine was into mushrooms. He said they were magic.
There isn’t mush room in that canoe.
I would like to grow a mushroom canoe. I think it would be fun, and I’m a fun guy.
I wish I had mushroom boots... That would ROCK!
At least she's not volunteering at Murder Inc (Planned Parenthood) or doing drive bys.

Oh, Gus The Gardener’s gone now
And you went with him, too
The fungus here, reminds me of
The fun Gus is having with you.

What to do....
eat my canoe
or paddle for help.
Nobody else wrote it so....
...clearly she’s a fungal.
Equally, if you paddle enough it’s a shroom with a view.
We are mushrooms, they try to consistently keep us in the dark and are for ever feeding us sh##
100 lbs? I think our kayaks are 40 lbs each. And I looked for the lightest ones I could find.
I did that in my mis-spent youth, 40 years ago. It's not that hard... but you need the spores, and have to exercise a minimal amount of sterile technique to avoid contamination.
“Well, there’s plenty of fungus among us.”
