@markmetz I want to insulate my house with this. Maybe in a few years, we can just inoculate walls and feed the insulation.
A friend told me there's already a paint based on this principle that just grows back when damaged 🤩
@iwein
Oh, that sounds cool, I’d like to know more about that paint!
@markmetz they didn't send me the link yet, but if I get it I'll post about it. Researching this stuff is so cool, I am scared to do it, lest I get dragged into a hyper-focus rabbit hole and forget to take care of myself 🤣

I need to focus on my boring chores now!
@markmetz The #goodNews: It's no more 'only' #solarpunk, it's already industry (the video seems to be quite old). Here in France, we have companies producing #packages from #mycelium, hemp, algues, or plant waste.
Also in other EU countries like Belgium: https://www.permafungi.be/en - which is cofounded by the EU!
The French anti-plastic laws have accelerated these developments.
