And that's why I want to share these three incredible videos about yet another "special, almost magical power" of mycelium (the foundation of fungi and later in their life cycle, responsible for the fruiting bodies called mushrooms):

The ability to form revolutionary building materials.

These materials can replace (and are better than) today's plastic, wood, concrete, and most synthetics; especially synthetic materials that are toxic when compromised.

But enough with the semi-spoilers.

Here's a 3-pack of intriguing videos about futuristic mycelium based building materials that are already available today!

Enjoy...

About the Author

Source

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
