Companies like Ecovative and Loop (s/o Marc Violo) pioneered this industry, but there are hundreds of startups and entrepreneurs expanding on the solutions in the space.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jessica Diaz &amp; Catherine Euale have been partners in all things mycelium for many years now, and their most recent project is called Fungal Matters--an online myco-materials design course. Catherine comes from a textiles and fashion design background, and Jessica comes from an architecture background, so they bring a wide mix of knowledge and experience to their collaboration</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this episode, we'll touch on</p><ul><li>Mycelium design course</li><li>What kinds of mushrooms they use in myco material making</li><li>Ethnomycological uses of mycelium and mushrooms - aka how it has been used for centuries</li><li>New projects for Catherine and Jessica, like:</li><li>3D printing in myco materials</li><li>Mushroom material surfboard</li><li>Myco-leather research</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Timestamps</p><ul><li>0:00 - Intro</li><li>4:40 - What are myco-materials?</li><li>5:37 - Myco-Materials design course (Fungal Matters)</li><li>10:22 - What mushrooms to use in myco-materials?</li><li>13:45 - Ethno-mycological (historical) uses of myco-materials</li><li>18:23 - How to prevent fruiting</li><li>19:20 - 3D Printing in myco-materials</li><li>22:00 - How Jessica and Catherine got into mycology</li><li>29:53 - Myco-Materials Design Course - Mycology 101</li><li>34:07 - Innoculation + Incubation </li><li>36:10 - Substrates, Composites + Membranes</li><li>41:47 - Digital Fabrication, Finishes + Fungal Futures</li><li>44:55 - What comes next?</li><li>47:50 - Other projects they're working on</li><li>54:00 - Outro</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Resources</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/fungal.matters/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;\">Fungal Matters Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/slimy_futures/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Catherine's Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/formalisedcuriosities/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica's Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fexperiment.com%2Fprojects%2Fimproving-the-qualitative-properties-of-mycelium-skins-through-fungal-bacterial-biocomposites&amp;e=AT04BRwfJ-RXJdg7auxBmc6JeOrf6YEuZ14QDDcJXOeMEZIoQQX2gt5KM5UMJt33S4XBxD3bsAVP0xzSJ8w6MQs3tXmdsvD5qtoLUgmTnNBM1NDcIQORXyB300k1Q93xC7CG5mU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Catherine's Myco-leather research</a></li><li><a href=\"https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fexperiment.com%2Fprojects%2Fexploring-material-properties-and-fabrication-processes-of-a-mycelium-based-surfboard&amp;e=AT04BRwfJ-RXJdg7auxBmc6JeOrf6YEuZ14QDDcJXOeMEZIoQQX2gt5KM5UMJt33S4XBxD3bsAVP0xzSJ8w6MQs3tXmdsvD5qtoLUgmTnNBM1NDcIQORXyB300k1Q93xC7CG5mU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica's Myco-surfboard project</a> and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ongoboards/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ongo Boards instagram</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Theme Music: Lacuna (ft.
