Lesson 13: Innovating with fungi and mapping what we’ve learnt
Students will be introduced to the topic of working with fungi in innovation, where they will begin to understand that fungal mycelium can be used for the construction of everyday objects. As a hands-on activity, students will have the opportunity to use oyster mycelium to mould simple objects. This is a new type of innovation used by designers, called biofabrication, using biological resources in creating sustainable materials and more specifically mycofabrication, using fungi.
