VOICED : Ciencia y arte para crear objetos cotidianos con champinones

The video discusses the innovative concept of objects growing like fungi, specifically using mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. This approach, showcased at the Micropia Museum in Amsterdam, aims to replace non-renewable resources by cultivating materials. Mycelium can be used to create various products, from home decor to construction materials. The production process involves feeding fungi organic waste and allowing them to decompose in controlled environments. The video highlights the potential of mycelium to replace traditional materials like plastic, wood, and rubber, with applications in interior design and beyond.
