Learn all about using fungi to grow your own 3D sustainable objects in this workshop with Fungi Co.
Can you grow a brick using fungi and paper waste?
Join Peter from Fungi Co to learn how to harness the power of fungi to grow your own 3D sustainable objects. Participants will be given hands-on training, using fungal mycelium to grow bricks or other objects – the limit is your imagination!
Attendees will take home their bio-fabricated objects, plus ample materials and instruction to further explore this emerging, innovative field of mushroom biomaterials.
This event is part of National Science Week 2021 and is supported by Inspiring the ACT.
