second is the human carcinogen. >> you are talking about what people might call particleboard? >> by replacing formaldehyde you can create materials with properties similar to fiberboard without the health and environmental complications. >> it is a natural adhesive. it holds the floor together. we use to constituents ground-up crop wastes and inoculate that and then it does the work. it eats the ground of material and growth through and around the particles binding them together through the growth of the organism transforming discrete articles into a composite. essentially using natures technology. >> this is what you are growing years? -- growing here? >> that is correct. this is providing the geometry of the shape we are wanting to grow. all of the material here, it is really pliable, a living breathing fungus right here. what you can see is we have the cornstalks and corn waste completely encapsulated. it is pretty tenacious and tough. >> how long did it take to get from raw ingredients to the gekko >>his? >> this is boarded. they will move this to a significant can be used

stan: you are talking about what people might call particleboard. gavin: exactly.ir in your office or the desk or table in your home. stan: by replacing formaldehyde with my psyllium, they can avoid the complications. >> it is like a natural adhesive. we used to constituents -- we use two constituents of ground-up wood waste, and inject that with [indiscernible] it goes through and around the particles, binding them together through the growth of the organism, transforming discrete particles into a physical composite. essentially, we are using nature's technology to grow a glue. reporter: this is what is in all these racks behind us? >> we have an enclosure. the enclosure provides the shape and geometry we are looking to grow. we cracked this open. all of the white material you see here -- this is really pliable. it is a living, breathing fungus. look at the side of this. we have some of the corn waste completely encapsulated with the stuff. it is pretty tough. >> how long did it take to get from raw ingredients to this. >> this is day four. this is ready to go to
