Mycelium Might

Overview

My project is called Mycelium Might. It focuses on growing mushrooms using recycled materials. My goal was to address the bigger issue of pollution and the need for more sustainable food sources in the future. For my experiment, I used coffee grounds and cardboard as my growing materials. I chose these because they are everyday waste products that are easy to find, but can also be reused for growing mushrooms instead of being thrown away. During my experiment, I discovered that a mix of coffee grounds and cardboard grew significantly faster than the other samples. My project expands the possibilities for growing foods in more sustainable ways.
