The Three Little Pigs Got a New House
OK, I'm gonna talk about creativity...it's one thing us individualistic Americans are really good at..rah rah USA. Just read an article about an artist/inventor who built a structure entirely out of mushrooms. Actually, he used the rootlike mass that forms underneath the 'shrooom. It's called a mycelium and the spongy matter is grown in brick shaped molds and used for something called mycotecture! It's nontoxic, fireproof and mold and water resistant..maybe I should be investing in the stuff, if I had any money to invest...It will soon be used as "eco-friendly" packing material. Just when you thought the world was a hopelessly used up dirty mess, you see that people care and there is once again hope for the future!!
