Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more

One Belgian company is recycling coffee grounds to grow mushrooms, as part of a circular system that aims to eliminate waste.

In an innovative project, scientists are turning to one of the oldest group of living organisms, fungi, to solve problems of energy wastage. Discover how experts are leveraging  a system of fungal bio-electric sensors to address smart and sustainable living.

New research suggests that mycorrhizal fungi take in 13 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, playing a prominent role in Earth’s carbon cycle.

Tulip trees were long renowned for their carbon storage. Their unique wood may be responsible.

Some fungi species can clean the environment from pollutants, convert plastics into bio-available food, and more.

Note: I haven't tried this myself cause I don't have all the equipment needed (or should I say haven't thought of how to replace them, perhaps?). Still, it does seem pretty doable.

Flora. Fauna. Funga. The case for fungi to be considered their own kingdom within the natural world was simple: Without them, much of life as we know it on this planet—starting with the ability of plants to live outside of water—would not exist.
