Following the advice of experienced mushroom producers we would set up the cultivation of fungi in a vertical manner, to utilise the limited space available in urban areas. An on-site pellet boiler would allow temperature and humidity control, pasteurisation of brought in organic waste and rainwater and mycelium fixation. Unlike conventionally used construction materials, the production of those from mycelium does not require high temperature, pressure, or mechanical processing, nor additional production costs and environmental damage.

The aim of the project is to create a circular environment where nothing is wasted, and buildings are constructed using organic household waste. With this as our aim, it will become increasingly easier to involve the community in each and every step which is great for the model we are about to propose.
