Your Celium, Mycelium

One of the likely revolutions in the war on plastic will be the adoption of mycelium as a material. Why?

• It grows fast
• Is lightweight
• Has strength
• Can be moulded to different forms
• Lasts a long time (but not too long)
• Has different textures

One texture is that of meat, and it’s edible, making for some new food materials. Just check out Stash Sauce’s short testing out a mycelium steak:

You wouldn't know this wasn't steak

There seems to be a growing momentum in feeding mycelium startups. This will likely lead to some breakthroughs to make it ubiquitous.
