"Mushrooms can save the world." - Paul Stamets

With the increasing strain on the well-being of our planet, we must learn to live in different ways, harmonious with nature.
Mushrooms and mycelium are strong contenders for the production of beneficial materials. They are regenerative systems, with nutrient-providing mycelium networks, which aid the growth and maintenance of other plant life.

With an interest in this topic came the inspiration and development of Mush, a kit which encourages the creative and innovative design of environmentally beneficial products by incorporating everyday waste and mycelium in the production of new materials.
The kit is targeted towards the older years of primary schools, encouraging younger people to think more about the benefit of design and natural materials in the course of helping the planet. This is accomplished through an engaging process of design and hands-on making.

The kit consists of a simple, illustrated instructions book, and mycelium grain, held within packaging which can be easily added to the material creation once unboxed.
The possibilities with Mush are endless. From classroom dividers, study pods, and toy stacking blocks. Anything is achievable.

Mush encourages creativity and open-minded thinking through design, towards achieving a healthy future for our planet.
