"When mushrooms make the news, it’s often for grim reasons – a mysterious
poisoning, toxic species in the bush, or high-profile court cases.
But the mushroom itself is only the fruit body. Beneath every cap lies the real
organism: a hidden network of white threads weaving through soil and wood.
And that underground network, called mycelium, may help solve some of our
biggest climate and waste problems.
In my research on building materials, I focus on improving the durability of
mycelium-based materials for construction purposes. So what exactly is
mycelium, and how can we harness it for various materials?"
