Mycelium, Oyster Shells
London
The Mycelium Series explored the materials potential to be used for household objects and sculptures. The project used a range of materials for the moulds, including metal, plastic, glass, silicon and gel-flex, in order to learn which materials preformed best.
Mycelium is the vegetative body of fungi and when combined with sterilised organic matter such as wood chip, straw or hemp and placed into a mould it will grow into the desired shape. It benefits the environment as it eats bio-waste, absorbs co2, uses less energy than plastic manufacturing and decomposes easily after-use while also enriching the soil with nutrients.
