Cream of Mushroom


Innovations in the “green” industry can be amusing. Like the new insulation material made of mushrooms, a sample of which we happen to have in the office. It’s made by injecting the mushroom spores into a mixture of insulating particles. The mushrooms then grow by consuming the mixture and forming a tight network solidifying the material. It’s said to be fireproof. 
Having found no use for it here, the sample is passing as a contemporary art piece and is currently on display in SW corner of the office.
