In a groundbreaking initiative near Nairobi, Kenya, a mushroom farm is revolutionizing the construction industry by producing mycelium-based building materials. MycoTile, a local company, transforms the root structure of mushrooms into durable panels that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. These panels, used for insulation, roofing, and interior decor, are significantly cheaper than traditional bricks and mortar, offering a sustainable solution to the city’s housing crisis.
