"Revolutionary Discovery in Home Construction: A Game-Changing Breakthrough"
Scientists at Newcastle University in the UK are using fungal networks called mycelium to build lighter-weight structures, aiming to reduce reliance on concrete and minimize environmental impact. By mixing mycelium spores with materials that the spores can grow on, such as grains, and using flexible knitted molds, they have created mycocrete, a stronger and more versatile building material. This innovative approach could have a significant impact on the construction industry and help address the environmental issues associated with concrete production.
