Changes

Mycelium (AKA "Fungus") is the collection of cells that compose root structure of mushrooms. Mycelium takes dead, composted plant matter and recycles it into a form that can be reused again by living plants. It is nature's own system of recycling, and is essential to ecological balance. Replicating the same functions of these natural processes into the economic system can benefit us all. Long story short, the end goal is to develop a business where we make profit off of waste, by turning that waste into valuable material or goods that people want and/or need. This profit will allow the company to expand, consuming more and more waste throughout the economy. Here's the deal. Waste is cheap. Mycelium can effectively colonize many petroleum-based plastics, petroleum itself, cardboard, wood and sawdust etc. Once fully colonized, it can be dried to create a strong and durable material. Based on the combinations of various growth parameters, species, and substrates, many different material qualities are possible. This can effectively replaceother, more harmful materials that are currently being discarded at an unprecedented rate. We know it is possible. It just needs to be done, and it needs to be done well. This plan isn't just a business. It is a system. A new paradigm. It is a self-expanding addition to our current economy that will grow from the waste of other corporations, cleansing the world.
