Comment on Mycelium vs. Hempcrete as insulation bricks - Advice needed
nesc@lemmy.cafe 3 days agoMushrooms in general aren’t great to have in place where people are going to live or be for long time. One of my relatives caught (dunno the english name for it) a condition where mushroom spores cause infection due to inhaling them, when working with mushrooms without respirator, it was pretty bad. Just an anecdote, maybe it’s not really a problem with dead ones.

Sure, mushroom spores can be unhealthy. But they’re only produced by ripe fruiting bodies, and in this case, we have mycelium, basically the “root structure”.
