Trash or a new ressources of mycelium

In the continiuties to use trash of the production culture for remade it some new materials, I decided to try using trash of production to myciculture bloc. More info here

The aim was:

  • to use it like clay for molding directly the material
  • see if the mycelium is still a live after to be harvest in the myciculture.
  • if it's infected easily or not
  • to discover the proprieties on them

This experimentation was aswell used by the student during the workshop Strate Design School.
