🍄 The world is addicted to concrete, and it’s making climate change a lot worse. But there’s a new generation of futuristic, sustainable building materials on the way. We try out mushroom-bricks as a future material by growing a brick ourselves and putting it to the test. 🍄

@Alendo 3 жыл бұрын

As an engineer I struggled to watch this video. They asked the mechanical engineer for help to test the brick, but failed to give any proper data from the outcome of the tests. Stack the bricks on top and look at it to see how much it deformed? I mean, wtf, they didn't even bring anything to measure the deformation. Then they lit it on fire before they did a proper decompression test to check what sort of "yield strength" it had, neither did they give any sort of strength data from the other company that had made a bunch of these mushroom bricks. I'm just left sitting here shaking my head...

For using mushrooms to become a viable building material, we should look at cost of the material, speed, durability, elasticity, and water/fire/heat/wind/cold-resistance of the material. When everything is good there is another problem and that is the transportation and the local production. If the material is harder to produce than concrete or locally sourced material, less developed countries will not try to use the new material.

They're made of dirt, the most readily available material on the planet. With that considered, I don't know what niche mushroom bricks are really trying to fill, from what I've seen. I think you would really have to utilize the fact that they grow to be useful. An idea I had was the fact that mycelium naturally bonds to wood, which is another building material. If you are really able to establish concrete level of strength, that could be a great natural combo.
