Take a peek inside the Mushroom Tiny House, a 64-square-foot home designed by Ecovative Design that uses mycelium -- a type of fungi -- to literally grow the structure from the inside out.

Was wondering the same thing myself. Very cool concept though.

Going to be bad once the fungi uses up all the food in the wall and starts to die, rot, and then smell.

Interesting but not what I thought when I read the headline. The frame was wood. I was thinking of some kind of smurf village with dinky little houses that were mushrooms. Interesting stuff to use mycelium as insulation and for structural support though. It seems environmentally friendly but I wonder if it will be prone to decay more than all wood would be.

I agree. This video should be more about testing the benefits of mycelium as building material/innsulation

I've heard of that kind of mycelium-bound material being researched for a packaging material for postal shipping, though I'm pretty sure that they used heat to kill and sterilize the mycelium prior to use.
Also, on a side note, isn't it strange that the Shroomery spell-check application doesn't recognize the word "mycelium?"

Hmm, seems like at one point the mycelium will just start eating the wood?!

I do wonder about the longevity of it. Especially if someone it gonna spend $9,000 for a build it yourself kit.
Also, is that guy drinking out of a jar? I thought he would have a mycelium cup or something.

he's drinking a beer out of a jar!
but yeah seriously--- if that was wood loving mycelieum, the insulation would eventually "eat" the structure and reduce it into a tiny lump of fluff.

Shrooms are going to become very useful.
There's something beautiful and special about creating life and utility from death.
