This mushroom brick could replace concrete



Cement sucks.

It's pretty bad for the environment on the front end as its production releases a whole bunch of carbon dioxide into the air, and it's not great on the back end because large swaths of pavement deny water's opportunities to get back into the ground, increasing runoff that is frequently polluted.

I've posted about mycelium materials before, but I particularly like this video's combination of a bit of pro-forest coverage and the fact that the reporter made her own 'mushroom' brick.

That might have to be a project for next year.
