@markmetz I love this, but I can't share it because there's no alt text.
@domo @markmetz I found the company site:

@markmetz But, are we sure the mushroom packagings will not evolve into blobs that will grow and eat us in the end ? 😱
@jor @markmetz always, always be aware of the blob...

#solarpunk@markmetz i remember this tech from ~20 years ago at some very hippy forum, someone was making insulation sheets with mycelium. Great if theyve found niche that can work with it.

#solarpunk@markmetz The #goodNews: It's no more 'only' #solarpunk, it's already industry (the video seems to be quite old). Here in France, we have companies producing #packages from #mycelium, hemp, algues, or plant waste.
Also in other EU countries like Belgium: https://www.permafungi.be/en - which is cofounded by the EU!The French anti-plastic laws have accelerated these developments.

@markmetz amazing but there have to be side effects.
using fungi surely has side effects. Just like using aluminium or other metals or .. plastics@admin Why should it?
Mycelium packages are checked just as meticulously as everything else for suitability and characteristics regulations before they are ready for the market. They are used for goods as a substitute for polystyrene https://www.permafungi.be/en/nos-clients -
@markmetz there was a documentary about this on BBC2 like 15 years ago and it looked like such a great development. I never heard anything of it again. I hope it's finally taking off.
@SilverArrows Those packages are already in our shops. There are several European companies producing them. (You can find some in the comments here).

@markmetz can someone fund the shit out of this project? Oh wait, I forgot the people with money are assholes.
But seriously, this is amazing!!
@c_salem Such projects are already funded by the EU, e.g. the Belgian company Permafungi.
And the packages are in the shops. In France e.g. https://www.embelium.fr/ - and outside the EU you have Mushroom Packaging UK. -

#solarpunkEvery time I encounter polystyrene/Styrofoam my day is significantly worse
-
@admin There's a lot of info in the internet! You can also ask the producers for which case the packages are used.
#Mycelium is one of the foundations of life. It permeates the entire soil of earth. Most food plants cannot survive at all without symbiosis with mycorrhiza (= mycelium firmly connected to their roots). Every good compost has plenty of mycelium.

... and the wrong type of hemp! -

So this is my new project: A solar powered website:https://solar.stfn.pl/en/The website is hosted on a Raspberry Pi Zero server running from solar panels and batteries, living in a shed in my field.
