There’s an artist / builder growing reishi into furniture and buildable blocks. They even brewed reishi tea from the building blocks. Some absolutely crazy stuff. More information at http://www.mycoworks.com/portfolio/mycotecture/. 

Fungi Friday!! “MycoWorks is an early-stage bio-materials development company based in Silicon Valley. The company employs proprietary techniques and technologies to create natural alternatives to engineered wood, cork, and synthetic plastics. These new bio-materials provide designers and manufacturers in a wide range of industries with the ability to create more durable, lightweight and eco-friendly products.” I feel like Mycoworks is pretty much the west coast version of Ecovative. Check out this article too. Looking forward to a future of materials that are grown not made!
