well, head run out, we will have different speed visible on see if you can see a difference very clearly, i would say. and so a lot of them didn't thrive. the leaves are much lower than the others in this plot folder. that's right. i'd say one in 10 didn't thrive if it's in sales could fall and yes, then it happens that replanted in plots 1819 months of life, but we didn't think about michael, rising them and it can be nice mid august because he didn't get the we can still do it now holding, that would be great if it's still worth a tune. you know, let's see. she was skeptical at the beginning, but now nor of right schmidt is completely convinced by the phone go. sheila, it's, it's of, it's obvious that it's really helped other people. of course, there are lots of other factors that play a role to i'm convinced by this whole system. it's been to definitely so they've been gone since it's the male success for patrick man.

from tranquil light. listen to building micro biologist boss to ensure that is another fan of funky. he's found another useful them not yet food. he gained his bachelor's degree and then found at a stop shop. the truth, fungus works, just like classic styrofoam is very shock resistant. we are making use of its properties and we thought, why don't make a bicycle helmets, how you doing? research is one thing. launching a product on the market. is it not so? will it succeed? bastion to the develop the project with 2 colleagues at the institute of biotechnology. it's a technical university, the name, a center of funky research assistance of water. this is our incubating report. everything grows is in here, but here we can see the different stages of grew from chicago. this is just being inoculated, and you can't see any of the flight to chicago. my celia,

i'm growth yet. don't back hand 5 minutes is room completely after 2 weeks. as we see here 5, this is completely white. and there's already a solid bias on team of lucas funding. and then pass from the waste agricultural materials form the basis for a home which show once again the team, the focus has proven particularly suitable it go through the substrate for 12 days before being chopped into small pieces as to how many of us. so we have the for actually shredded my silly encompass it. here is somebody, this is prestone everywhere onto these individual particles and i fill it in here on that and then it carries on going on next step. you know, if i touch on some further details and the spaces between, within my sylium and at the end, you have us form like material for a helmet pattern. you have the lid is put back on and the dish is put in the incubator room to finish growing for another 2 to 3 weeks.

the best and cheapest has already gone. many of these almost common bad like samples. the slices of fungus will later be used to test the safety of the material. that should be 9 to, to soft know, to crumbling. how exactly is the product optimized? the positive is in. just we see here that it slightly whitish oliver does have chosen for us. that means the shock absorbing properties of the fungus are evenly spread. i can show from how to test almost one rentech a i've always has to make sure you do a proper job. so you can produce and sell a product that meets the quality standards office of credit invest credited spend at all because sometimes bastion ship edwards closely with an industrial

partner. the company youth x is interested in his products and ski whole months of being discussed as well. as bicycle helmets, initial tests of search to find the materials, excellent impact resistance. but a number of issues still need resolving. styrofoam requires a lot of fossil energy bonded to water repellent, and durable, fungus based helen has to compete with that as well. i'm your best that size of here we have a sustainable cool tank stones as um, we have already done tests with the coating on our helmet and time to make it whether proof that meant to even be tough estimates. um, but we haven't yet tested what happens when it comes into contact with sweat for a whole year yet. and then yeah, long sized tolvine booked. but these are all problems we can find solutions to. hopefully not, but that's who gets the hardest news on fungal based building materials could massively benefit the environment. the construction industry has an enormous c o. 2

footprint. so there's a lot of room for improvement. at an international building, competition in foothill university change, presenting environmentally friendly building methods and materials that work is in line with the use green deal which aims to promote circular economy. professor de cable from the call through institute of technology and his team have come up with a wooden house on stilts, intended as an extension to an existing building. table has been working with fungus based building materials for a long time. the panels to sound proofing and installation. for example, diesel bond is this wall is 100 percent suitable for the circular economy. and so you can see either you can reuse it afterwards. plenty of all he does. you can shop it up again and add new fun gets bores and anointed one to 2, or you can con,

posted all she couldn't accomplish to you. so this is how we want to build in future. no shots, but we don't want to put more pollutants into our environment. going forward, building should be seen as a store of materials operating and cycles that succeeds. it will be the end of our resource problems and put it in. yep. on the table hopes that more attention will finally be paid to the many potential uses of funding. in the long term, he's convinced that sustainable building materials can improve the climate balance is the bottom right is the potential uses of funky in the future, are incredibly wide range. and we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now when it comes to understanding, exploring, and making use of them. so these updates for students who are flushing fuels. let's put some of the cable in his team. a working hard to ensure that the environmental targets sit by the you reached the thanks to their innovative use of fungus. they,

when the building competition info, patel, green, do you understand the green deal actually wants the construction industry to go completely circular by 2050. all these, then we need to do more research to increase the percentage of organic and ground building materials, including fungus, to get to why on there's so few fungus based products on the market, so thought best into bitten belly and has one possible answer. his helmets with an in a shell of fungus will not be produced for the time being let's go to the site that's applicable was a box at the startup project for now, due to patent problems, it was in the service. we knew that patten's exist in this field script, especially from the american company inclusive on. then we did some research to make sure that these patents are very thorough. oscar, so we would infringe them. we didn't see any way of writing that really phillips

and button on the, on the phones kind of because they didn't get to him again. he has since closed down his style shop function, saying that the payton's already awarded effect almost every development in this field. the payments were like very generally to materials that are self supporting and held together by phone go my cnn, apparently 9th and my celia and know the substrate use to know individual manufacturing steps was specified in more detail. sometimes i find humans, i think someone had a very good patent attorney who wrote a very good patent for the company. so yeah, who just attend scheme as what us that's have 1st glance. it all sign super into the tip to someone who isn't very well versed in the subject. to put another chief on the bed and the data sticking complex and bought to the not just the use the right complex words. and it also has incredibly innovative and relatively specific, but it's only when you knew the subject matter that you realize, okay,

almost everything is covered by this patent. ok, so fast i left so best i could act us. she but doubts, he's alone with this problem. he sees large parts of the industry affected by it. let's just do everyone who wants to produce my silly encompass it's commercially, has to deal with this. i think global. so it's not as a side us. so you either find an agreement or you don't do as a tall job. what i'm on the list of items. i am the, the 1st patents will expire and if you use some research is fine to sit down before launching their own work. patrick noone is work in switzerland could also be hunted by existing patents. how does he feel about this 99?

am yourself to protect my opinion on patent and i'll use that. they can hinder innovation, delay innovation. and actually, i think these novel materials should be spread by open source, the all and so 9, so and so the way fungus itself spreads me. this, the beauty alsco, and fortunately moon that has spread his risk soil remediation. his 2nd main stay is free of such restrictions. unimportant, amazing is taking place today. scientists from missouri could come to an on site appointment at the industrial wasteland. m a broker to accompany the project. patrick luna and eric cruz, the managing director of disco squeeze interviewing agie, who is jointly responsible for the remediation. explain the situation. one of the month effects you can see that it rains last night. you can see the puddles that self compute. the biggest sink contamination is actually in the puddles. this is

the do gooders because i mean all to me think specialist to the environmental office responsible for the side must now decide how to remediate the aim is to use the funky to lower the contamination levels. the parties involved estimates that will take at least 10 years. the project also has financial advantages. if everything goes well, it will cost just interested at the conventional remediation. according to every cruise, you have an alternate full, we're not planning to build on this area in the next 10 or 15 years. so i thought this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take advantage of this method. thus we owe it to the next generation, but if we do this well here, then it's a job well done. that happened with all the schools come off. it's a specialist agencies get their approval launch scale willow planting will take

place soon. the willows have so far proven particularly suitable in interaction with the microns or funky. the contamination branches could then be regularly cut off and that in germany to research projects of already underway to remediate soil with funky, it's best, the best way to fix this problem. i really want the problem to be solved and then because with conventional sort of remediation, the problem is that it might be nicely labeled and reduced pollution and but then it in the landfill. so the problem is not really solved visit or a car, and i can't have a clear conscience about this here. if it's been removed from here, it's still waiting to be solved somewhere else. it's quite simply our duty on sort of a priest on that's the goal. so how patrick noone to sees that he knows there's still a lot to look on about funding. is there a personal view is let's think of any nation if we don't learn to

live by natural principles, vpn is i don't have much hope for us, fish, fish, watts. yeah, this is so that's how i see it on the page. so without somebody shelf, we won't make it to you, it's the cost divide, so thank you will do their thing with or without us. only the question is, do we accept the role of funky and use them? you'd say i want not since the board. so do we say, let's drive off the edge of the cliff on getting caught in on. somebody will survive either way. they do too but hopefully it's patrick bruno and other experts continue with the plan during look. we'll soon be harnessing the potential of funky to address global challenges. the
