Mycelium should be more widespread! We should have stopped the use of plastic completely and switched over to something like mycelium. It is so much better for the environment and for our own health, it seems nothing but logical to use biodegradable alternatives to polymers. The societal lag causing old habits to die hard will most likely be humanity's downfall. The lack of federal drive to take initiative on issues such as this is what is holding humanity back.

I think a better Idea would be making it a legal requirement that any goods like this for sale must be built to last, come with service manuals and be easily serviced and repaired, not be subject to any tax and even be subsidised to stop the manufacturing and sales of cheap low quality goods that have minimal warranties and break as soon as it expires. Using mycelium is just not currently feasable because the extra weight of mycelium compared to styrofoam would result in more fuel being used for transport, and the toxic fumes released into the environment from burning additional fuel is far worse than burying some styrofoam. When clean electric can be produced in excess and all vehicles run on electric then it will be worth it.

On top of that, the yield is low from these, as the islands certainly aren’t big enough to provide the amount we’d need.

You're paying 20 cents to produce it, then you have to pay the company who is monopolizing it, which can easily be a good 60-70 Cents for each Kilogram, meaning, in reality, you're paying 80-90 Cents for 1Kg of Mycelium, compared to 50 Cents for 1Kg of Plastics. obviously companies will stay with Plastics instead because Economy. Money first, World second.

Growing your own mushrooms is ridiculously easy in certain locals. I've got a tray I harvest a half dozen from every day. Just replace the organic fertilizer every year and you can keep eating the same mushrooms (an no, it doesn't have to be manure. There are plant waste fertilizers out there.). Just has to be not to hot, not too dry, and not too wet. Best of all, you can grow them out of sunlight. It might just be me, but they also seem to grow best in quiet.

not that different. We'd still be using plastics, because this can't replace all plastics. This has it's place, like replacing styroform packaging, but many other things you wouldn't want to be made of this. Also, you can make plastic stuff much quicker, so companies would still have preferred using plastics.

not great, since its far slower and more expensive to manufacture, and it rots. it's also not transparent, pretty much definitely considerably weaker than plastic, is'nt waterproof, probably has a funny smell to it since it is essentially dead rotting plant matter, it would make anything it is packaged with wet and slimy as its a mycillium, would be full of bugs since it's a weave rather than a solid object, and it pretty much just not fit for purpose at all. its the same as all of these "saving the planet" ideas. sounds nice...totally impractical and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

This is an incredible new material! I can't wait to test out some of the products that will created by this plastics alternative.

Wow this is incredible, if this ain't the solution I don't know what is.

One of the many things he explained is that buildings were gonna be made of a material that is made of fungus and some metals, with incredible properties like self repairing and reactive to the environment. Seemingly we won't need to wait a hundred years for that. I'm so excited!!

There is another alternative that uses recaptured CO2 from the air fed to water based algae that then produce a material that can be used to produce a plastic alternative with most of the same properties that can be used to produce the same sort of products and biodegrades within a few years. A great alternative for disposable items such as straws, shopping bags, disposable cutlery.

The problem with fungus is that there are so many known mycotoxins and likely even more unknown mycotoxins. For instance, the some Fusarium species are used in fake meat products, but I believe most species in the same genus are known to have harmful mycotoxins. Aflatoxins (produced by Aspergillosis species) are known to be toxic to liver cells and are heavily correlated with cancer and liver cirrhosis. The point is, different species and genus of fungi produce all kinds of different chemicals that we have no idea how they effect the body. I'm not saying fungi based plastics wouldn't be better than petroleum based plastics which probably have an effect on the endocrine system. The industrial uses for fungi seem pretty cool, but I would use caution when using fungi for packaging food or water. I am not an expert, but I took a few mycology classes in college. There is so much we don't know and so many undiscovered species. I think caution is warranted for packaging food. If someone knows more please comment.

With that kind of computing power, you could model a thousand generations of product development before you build your first prototype.

you say a little extra, but the last time (about 8 years ago) I saw this technology, you were looking at 30x the amount. You are already paying about £10 for the packaging for your £300 TV, do you want to pay more for the packaging for your TV than for you TV? And also Polymer packaging for that TV can be produced and packed in hours, vs the week it takes to just grow the mycelium. Time is what kills this for most people. Some smaller companies (notice how almost everything packed was expensive wine) are OK with it, but the price for 3million TV packs, it might be cheaper for that company to invest in a waste return scheme where they collect the packaging after delivery.

@@bitraboj722 I cannot help it. It is so disturbing to see so many who are so thoroughly indoctrinated by the the mainstream narrative. Perhaps commenting on you tube is not the best place.....but it is presently the only forum I have since being paralyzed a few years ago.

I think it has a great potential to be a great food source since the meat industry is among the worst offenders when it comes to polluting the environment. I also think packaging will be a huge part of mycelium production because of its cost to manufacture and how quickly it is composted. the clothing part is less of a given when it comes to mycelium. it is all about how it compares to cotton in both longevity and price. if it is cheaper to produce than cotton whilst offering the same or better properties in how soft it is, how well it holds up over time and through wash cycles and how breathable it is. I can see a use for it in stuff like winter equipment like jackets and such for skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports and there might be a use for it in gloves depending on yet again, price and reciliance. as for building matereals, I would say that it really depends on how well it holds up over time, but I can really see it being used inside the walls as an insulator instead of glass or rock wool. but this also depends on the performance. if it is worse than glass wool for a higher price will nobody go for it. if it is the same or better for the same price or lower do I have a feeling that a lot of people might go for it instead of glass wool.

swede here. svamp framtida means mushroom the future. actually fun that you translated some words into swedish and made it into an ikea poster

Order from IG @Mycohenry33 and thank me later

I love the fact you include economic factors in your videos. It provides a realistic hope as things become cheaper, more cost effective etc. Most modern products we commonly use every day have become thousands of percent (percents?) cheaper overtime. Most things you cover are more expensive and more complicated, but within the next 20-50 years, I can see a lot of the products/concepts you cover becoming mainstream because of their cost effectiveness.

This gives a lot of hope!

This is one of the reasons why if I don't get into nueroscience I'm going to study Mycology. It's ao fascinating what you can achieve with mushrooms!
