@markmetz That's really cool! I hope it takes off.

@markmetz Leuk idee maar 7 dagen per product of 30 sec. ik heb vraagtekens.

@markmetz Wow. Make it happend out there.

@markmetz this is so cool !!!

What is Magical Mushroom's behaviour under intense X-ray pulse? Does it turn into a compressive plasma?

@markmetz Within line of sight of me I have tea packaged in bamboo tubes and stored for use in calabash gourds.

We've been "growing packaging" for thousands of years.

So it's not a "what if' but rather "here's the next step".

@markmetz
Can this mushroom-based packing material be deployed at scale?
I, for one, sure hope so.

@Morpurgo @markmetz I'm curious what they mean with commercially viable yeah. Cause well I really would love that to be the case, I'm somewhat doubting that

@markmetz can someone fund the shit out of this project? Oh wait, I forgot the people with money are assholes.

But seriously, this is amazing!!

@markmetz I wonder what % of polistyren micro plastic comes from the packaging relative to construction

@markmetz there is one entreprise making it in France too :

@markmetz

Using both hemp and magic mushrooms.

.... Interesting....

@markmetz Mycopunk!

@markmetz And after #unboxing => #mushroom #soup

@markmetz
Mushroom️ is a registered trademark? That doesn't seem helpful.

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

@markmetz there was a documentary about this on BBC2 like 15 years ago and it looked like such a great development. I never heard anything of it again. I hope it's finally taking off.

@markmetz I love this, but I can't share it because there's no alt text.

@Guillotine_Jones @markmetz pretty much anyone can make it, using whatever feedstock biowaste is readily available in your region, and you don't need massive machines or anything, so it certainly supports that kind of grassroots "at scale."

Eben Bayer was pushing this back in 2010, and you'd think by now it would be the default packaging technology, but I guess he patented the shit out of this whole space which is why that hasn't happened yet.
