As many buildings start to show their age and need to be repaired a new solution has been proposed by many scientists, specifically mycologists who study fungi, which is to use fungi for building material. Mycelium, which is a network of germinated fungal spores, can be used as a building material and can be grown. It's like growing bricks and then having them expand to the environment you want. The process would begin with germinated spores which act like eggs for a fungus, and then optimizing the growing environment for the hyphae (one germinated spore) which then in turn form mycelia which acts like sturdy foam.
