@rpin42 Does he has the allergy when eating mushrooms? For soil is full of fungi mycelium (the kind of roots), many food plants grow thanks to it.
The company above produces these packages with hemp waste, and the mycelium delivers Chitin from it's cells as a "glue". Chitin is a natural biopolymer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitin
There are no "mushrooms" in these packages.

#solarpunk@markmetz Can't help to think... They didn't invent this LIKE LONG AGO, ALREADY??

#solarpunk@markmetz Here's a few links I found with the search engine KAGI.
This dates research back to the 1990s:

#solarpunkWhat if we could grow packaging ?
You mean like cardboard, wooden crates, paper envelopes ?

#solarpunk@markmetz Oh fuck, this is

@markmetz That's really cool! I hope it takes off.
@chrisp
Absolutely! I hope that it’s not a proprietary process and that it’s open source. -

#solarpunk@markmetz Assuming the murshrooms won't potentially grow onto anything they might flake off onto, this is already very promising

@thibaultmol @Morpurgo
I would hope that this is Open source and not proprietary, or that it could be engineered in a way that it could be open source. -

@Helenisenough
Thanks! I hope this is replicated in open source around the world -
@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.@NatureMC @c_salem@mastodon.social
Good to know! It would be great to see some regulations mandating this. -

#solarpunk@markmetz I don't know if it was made by these guys, but I received a gift of a bottle of hot sauce made by the brothers Sheldrake which was packaged in this type of material. It really does work very well.

#solarpunk@markmetz yes!! I love stuff like this. I try to cut down on my waste but ya know I like to buy things and I hate when they use excess plastic!! An SD card can ship to me loose in an envelope I do not care. I try buying used but that's not always possible.

#solarpunk@markmetz I want to insulate my house with this. Maybe in a few years, we can just inoculate walls and feed the insulation.
A friend told me there's already a paint based on this principle that just grows back when damaged 🤩

@disorderlyf the production process involves heating up the material at the end to denature it.
