@admin Why should it?
Mycelium packages are checked just as meticulously as everything else for suitability and characteristics regulations before they are ready for the market. They are used for goods as a substitute for polystyrene https://www.permafungi.be/en/nos-clients -
@c_salem@mastodon.social Such projects are already funded by the EU, e.g. the Belgian company Permafungi.
And the packages are in the shops. In France e.g. https://www.embelium.fr/ - and outside the EU you have Mushroom Packaging UK. -

#solarpunkEvery time I encounter polystyrene/Styrofoam my day is significantly worse
-
@admin There's a lot of info in the internet! You can also ask the producers for which case the packages are used.
#Mycelium is one of the foundations of life. It permeates the entire soil of earth. Most food plants cannot survive at all without symbiosis with mycorrhiza (= mycelium firmly connected to their roots). Every good compost has plenty of mycelium.

@markmetz Wonderful!
And undoubtedly, the Fediverse is the only place where I can see something with #solarpunk hash on the top of the trending list. Keep up the great work, fediversers.
(searching for the company may be difficult, though)

#solarpunkSplendid,
@markmetz we need more of this. Have you any experiences with growing this in situ, for example as insulation for houses? (Is it even suitable as insulation?) -

Argh, their shop site needs updating! Says they'll be shipping to EU "later in 2025". -

#solarpunkI for one welcome our mycelium-packaging overlords. (Underlords?)

What we really need is a ban on all packaging and advertising. -

@markmetz But, are we sure the mushroom packagings will not evolve into blobs that will grow and eat us in the end ?

#solarpunk@markmetz my brother has a severe mushroom allergy and is terrified of this taking off. Is it hypoallergenic?

#solarpunk@markmetz Sharing for the corduroy pants and wool sweaters everyone seems to be wearing. I didn't even know you could still BUY corduroy.

#solarpunk@markmetz Yeah let's see more innovation like this. This actually replaces something WORTH replacing unlike AI that only exists to replace people or make them lazy in the pursuit of "efficiency"

#solarpunk@markmetz between this and all the hours I spent growing and picking mushrooms in Stardew Valley, I suddenly have the urge to quit my job and become a professional mushroom (packaging) grower!
