Researchers in Montana say they have found a way to turn fungus into a brick, which could eventually offer a more sustainable cement alternative.
The article from CNN dated April 30, 2025, discusses innovative approaches to sustainable home building using fungi and bacteria. Researchers are exploring the use of mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, to create eco-friendly building materials that are not only biodegradable but also have insulating properties. Additionally, certain bacteria are being engineered to produce bio-cement, which can be used in construction to reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional cement production. These biological materials are seen as promising alternatives that could revolutionize the construction industry by offering sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly building solutions.
