I knew about the radiation eating mushroom. In fact this was "suggested" as a potential shielding material for a space mission in order to block out the suns radiation. The issue was it would have been several metres thick of a shielding :D

But yeah shrooms are dope.

Correction needed regarding the shoe company making the mushroom shoe. It should read Adidas and not Nike. 👍

Happy New Year.

I found another interesting use of mushrooms - music. Musical artist MycoLoco introduces himself on https://mycolyco.bandcamp.com/ : “I grow gourmet mushrooms and connect them to synthesizers.” Fungal music!

Utterly fascinating!!
