To quote my mother anytime we my dad would order pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, "if God had meant for us to eat fungus, he wouldn't have made it grow on our feet."
I've since moved on from sharing my dad's exact pizza order to one of bacon and banana peppers, but I'm still down with the button mushroom.
But this video certainly isn't about your dad's mushrooms any more than quorn or Ecovative (mentioned in the above video and already blogged about) are.
Today's video looks at a lab exploring the growth of fungus (mycelium) to produce all sorts of different, polymer-substitute materials.
Here's a related TED talk from Erik Klarenbeek (the focus of the middle of the above video).
