Sustainable Lamps Are Literally Grown From Mushrooms | Mashable

Danielle Trofe is a Brooklyn-based designer who recently launched a series of pendant and table lamps that are made from mushroom mycelium, a versatile and sustainable material. Trofe grows the lampshades inside custom 3D-printed molds and treats them with natural dyes.

[@SacredShiro]

So how does someone at home do this?

[@velana_net]

Super cool! Vegan & eco greetings from Germany!

[@zeusa1818]

This is a great thing

[@mobleyMobley]

Where can i get started on buying a kit?

[@threadless2329]

I have been attempting to create the geometric design cast for then water bottle. I was laughed at. I know this is the future and we are part of this beautiful planet with then iron of supernova pumping throughout our collective hearts. I will work for room and board or get the word out in my area. How can I contribute? Sending good vibes.

[@pandaEMOx]

ecovative doesn't actualy manufacture ˝mushroom material˝ they just patented puting a natural material in to moulds. (any musrooms mycelium in any kind of shape mould) so they are actualy stifling innovation because capitalism.

[@abhisheksingh5943]

What's the life span of these mushroom lamps?

[@ridasultan8492]

Which mashrooms is used and which seed husk is used?? Kindly please answers me i want to use it to make leather

[@Fellowtellurian]

Would it fruit if you didn't cure it? What species are you using?

[@WASSOGER]

Reishi species

[@kajalkabdwal1815]

From where u got these moulds ??

[@satan0369]

which mushroom mycellium is used?

[@WASSOGER]

[@qwertzuiopu2996]

plastic mold??? i hope u reuse them often

[@asay4489]

What about the health? spores? posible problems with allergic ppl. Would it rot easily? how does it behave with high humidityor does it heat up easily?(depending on the type of light bulb it could get dangerous) ..

[@fugeelahahaha]

Ignorance.

[@zainshaikh1504]

Is it heavy?

[@Euphorb1um]

No, it floats on water.

[@tommy765100]

Well, I think they are cool.

[@AmbyarSquad1]

does some one know the substrat to mycellium growth?

[@nazirmorales4149]

You can usually use oak pellets or soy hull pellets, with a little amount of calcium and flour to enhance the growth

[@lendaryreviews]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ooooo hello

[@saloni379]

What if the mushroom is very expensive and generally non affordable

[@thiatphan4190]

probably too late but the fungal inoculum shouldn't be too expensive. Once you have it you can keep using it given that you know how to maintain the culture.

[@Euphorb1um]

Thi A T Phan you need a lab to maintain the culture.

[@thiatphan4190]

@@Euphorb1um ​ yea, you're right. But you can build a laminar flow hood at home, maybe a pressure cooker for sterilisation and a small fridge to store your culture? In saying that, I'm not sure if this culture needs any specific requirement. It's also dependent on where you live, you may not be able to get on your hand on this culture in the first place.

[@thess6881]

does someone know the song in the snapchat story where you have to swipe up to see the video?

[@6866yash]

I wanna be top comment. Also FIRSTTT!

[@AntMixFilms]

I'm afraid that roaches or insects would eat them

[@bluestonebest1893]

some mushrooms kills the insect and some can digest rocks too

[@scarfacereivax7857]

Its treated by heating..

[@didaloca]

Feeding this to pigs to make bacon is more cost effective than making lamp shades. - Armchair expert.

[@johnmckeag1048]

Daniel Astbury - what is more cost effective; feeding the agricultural waste to pigs or feeding them the dried mycelium?

[@holyshit1916]

TheMatron'sMilitia empathy section of the brain shuts off when the body is hungry. Is that why you are imposing your moral beliefs on others? Or is it because you are unsure of what diet to follow and want someone’s help?

[@holyshit1916]

TheMatron'sMilitia yoooo nvm I just saw your uploads. 😂 I’m no longer vegan either. Hi :)

[@toshitchaudhari3705]
