This reminds me of recycling. This reminds me of recycling because people would use less wood,plastic,concrete,metal,and glass.Instead people can use the materials for something else like concrete to make streets.

Hey Faith, good point! Instead of using resources that we might run out of, we could use different materials, like the mushrooms. It's a really a great way to invent different types of furniture.

This makes wish I could invent things out of food. If we could make furniture out of mushrooms, then who knows what we could build.

Hi Isaac, I agree with you. In the future we could probably make lots of things out of food.

I agree with Isaac,who knows what we could build. Maybe someone would make a chair, instead of wood they could use something else like the mushroom.

I agree with Fahad, why would people take food and turn it into furniture? I wonder though maybe you can take the food, people do not eat and turn that into furniture so no one would waste it because no one would eat it so it is kinda recycling.

I agree Alex but some part of this process doe just sound a little disturbing to be honest. Like using waste when you think about you are reusing trash and a bed made out of trash that is a no-no for me.

I agree with you Fahad they should not waste food there are so many people in the world with no food we could give it to them.

This makes me wish that I could invent furniture by using different nature waste materials or a bio-degradable with some molded plants and leaves to make cool and modern furniture and at the same time I could preserve the ecosystem and protect nature.

This reminds me making some furniture and how you would make a table, out of a mushroom! This would be like making a light or a table, a chair and so much more! Its the same thing as making it with wood accept you're saving the environment and you would see how much the mushrooms would go to waste.

I think it is amazing that you can make things with plants. Many things are made out of a plant such as wood, but to be able to make things from mushrooms makes me surprised.

I agree Khaula it is pretty amazing i would have never thought mushrooms would have such a good use besides eating!

it is cool how they used fungus like glue to glue mushrooms together.

How the fungus grows reminds me of how mold grows. Little hairs start to get bigger and bigger , with mold a fruit could blacken and start growing fuzzy hairs called mold this is a pretty cool discovery.

this reminds me a lot of domestication because we are making mushrooms specially for our house shaping them and modifying them till we can use them to our advantage just the the domestication of dogs we can use them as companions helpers and even as caretakers for humans or other animals

I thought it was pretty cool that they made regular squishy, smashable mushrooms into something like furniture. I would think of a food or drink to be made of mushrooms but furniture! that is amazing

After I read this article, I wonder why they use mushrooms instead of wood. Are they wasting food and savings trees? This is strange and amazing at the same time.
