Mushroom

Ethical Making

Experiment

Technology

The material is produced naturally, requiring no energy. It grows on its own. There are a large number of different kinds of mushrooms. In my experiments I use reishi mushrooms. In my experiments with reishi mushrooms, they sprout well into round and sharp shapes. In my research and experiments, I have found that it is very difficult to work with small shapes.
