Grow your own oyster mushrooms

It is said that the mushroom, and especially Mycelium has the potential to replace all sorts of (harmful) materials like plastics and batteries. Here at Mediamatic we are interested in the cultural and artistic implications of this 'new' bio-material and conducted a workshop to explore the possibilities. During this introduction course we learned how to cultivate the Oyster Mushroom at home and by doing so gained a better understanding of the potential of this organism.
