Could houses be built with mushrooms? The construction industry is currently developing and incorporating a sustainable and cost effective building material made from mushrooms. Mycelium is the root system of a fungal organism made of hyphae that looks like cobwebs.

Ikea has already started using mycelium molds as packaging.
