Mushroom, Mycelium, Fungi News

fungi applications.

Fungi, mushrooms and mycelium, are nature's innovators.

Their unique ability to break down complex compounds and transform them into valuable resources make them powerful tools which can help us reduce plastic waste, CO2 emissions, unsustainable animal-based food production, soil and water pollution.

Materials

Light, compostable, fire retardant, versatile, fungi are the ultimate sustainable material, already replacing plastics, animal-based leather, plywood, and much more to come.

Health

Fungi heal us, from penicillin to psilocybin induced collective consciousness. Continuous progress in fungi DNA sequencing is unlocking life-saving cures, to both physical and mental illnesses.

Food

Fungi have been used for centuries to make our food more nutrient rich and flavourful. From meatless burger patties, to organic mushroom milk, a new food revolution is now underway.

Art

Ideas gained from looking at an organism artistically can enable us to think “outside the box”. Art triggers in us emotions which can lead to action and collaboration, both vital to the exploration of fungi.

Remediation

Mushrooms are nature's recyclers. Builders of soil and strengtheners of ecosystems, they can degrade toxic waste in soil and waterways, while sustainably increasing yields on our farms.

Resources

The fungi innovation space is one driven by citizen scientists and advocates of a society rooted in nature's wisdom. Open access to knowledge is a cornerstone to the necessary growth of this field of research.
