Sure, mushroom spores can be unhealthy. But they’re only produced by ripe fruiting bodies, and in this case, we have mycelium, basically the “root structure”.

The cool thing about it is that you can form it to any shape you want.

For acoustic insulation, you need more than just a nice material. You need physical structures that allow the sound waves to break and dissipate. I already thought abour the puffed up concrete, but as a sheet only being a few centimetres thick, it weights too much and reflects too much noise.

Acoustic foam, you know, those with pyramids, is great, but often flammable, and, you guessed it, another source of non-recyclable plastic trash some day. I will definitely consider it, but only if I don’t find something else.

Both the plant fiber based/ supplemented concrete and mycelium are more eco friendly and have great properties, like being non-flammable by nature, not having unhealthy chemicals (formaldehyde, etc.), being shapeable, and more.

Dried mycelium is supposed to be inflammable, since it is made out of chitin, not wood. That’s why it is quite hyped as building material. Usually, with most other, you have to add flame retardants, but those chemicals can be a bit harmful.

Also, I just love mushrooms (as an organism) and think, that they can also be very useful for things other than food.

Hmm… Thing is, GrapheneOS is already more secure than stock Android, and the hardened memory allocator, spoofed MAC address, unprivileged Play Services, and much more as example, strongly help to reduce attack surface.

I think just going online, like connecting to my home router and doing system updates, won’t strongly compromise security.
