This mushroom might one day help build bricks, headphones, airplanes, windshields, and lots of other stuff

Let me get my baggie of magic mushrooms and visualize all these great things.

Amazing stuff!

Here's one more reason to love a good mushroom: one day, you might be able to make headphones, memory foam for shoes, or even aircraft exoskeletons with it. Researchers just assessed the engineering possibilities with one particularly impressive mushroom...

Yankee Ingenuity all the way.

After all, this funGI is famous for always getting there first:

Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Because you know how this stuff just mushrooms.

Hope is hope , not a “ can”

I hope this isn’t the materials equivalent to the “we can all just eat bugs instead of meat” green propaganda.

They want to destroy millions of acres of land to replace crude oil products.

Given the rush to diversity hiring of aircrews as well as aerospace engineering and the rush to place incompletely tested aircraft into service, it appears that it’s becoming safer to take a trip on mushrooms rather than an airframe constructed from them.

If your plane crashes in the middle of the Gobi Desert you can always eat it!..................................

Yes, you can take biological products, and with enough processing, make plastics. This has been known for decades, going on a hundred years.

Yes, some fungi have interesting properties, along with hundreds of other species.

This is an article I place in the "interesting, but three big steps from any commercialization, will probably never happen, bin".

[Red Badger]

The good thing about this is you can eat your mistakes..................

Spore Drive?

Reminds me of the Sci-Fi novel “Omnivore” by Piers Anthony. Wild stuff.

I thought mushrooms had zero nutritional value so use them for making things instead

I was at our office the other day and our technical director told me that he had recently spoken with a Professor who is at the forefront of researching a new technology that our company is interested in.

we asked for a few grams of it and were told that he hasn’t been able to make half that over the last 20 years.

A lot of this stuff is just theoretical and just published to keep the grant money aflowin.
