Not sure how safe mushroom blocks would be, even dried, feels like a bit of a hazard.

Dried mycelium is supposed to be inflammable, since it is made out of chitin, not wood. That’s why it is quite hyped as building material. Usually, with most other, you have to add flame retardants, but those chemicals can be a bit harmful.
Also, I just love mushrooms (as an organism) and think, that they can also be very useful for things other than food.
