    Molding Mycelium: Plant Pots

    2
    dec 2020
    - with Dominik Einfalt and Doudouce Knol

    It's obvious that we should re-think our destructive consumption behaviours, and mycelium could be the answer. The living organism can be shaped into various shapes to create products that are 100%...

    feb '21 – Duiventoren 06

    De bouw van deze toren is vooral gericht op snelheid en efficiëntie. Het is een eenvoudig vierkant ontwerp, zodat we de blokken niet hoefden bij te snijden. Om ze aan te drukken organiseerden we een...

    Jute

    jun '20 – Duiventoren 02

    De overblijfselen van de ingestorte toren van het eerste experiment hebben we in een lange jute buis gestopt. Jute is biologisch afbreekbaar textiel, en biedt structuur en voeding aan het mycelium.

    Saprophytic fungi and their function

    Fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. There are also some in-between types of fungi, but let's, for now, talk about these three. The first group is saprophytic fungi. They are...

    Defining the Shape

    Square and Round

    Building living architecture pairs with failure and errors, but we get more experienced with each tower. Over time we learned to better understand how the mycelium behaves and how to respond to that.

    Parasitic fungi and their function

    Fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. The second big group is parasitic fungi. Of course, there are parasitic species for every organism, but they are mainly related to insects.

    What does a day in the Aquaponics greenhouse look…

    Morning The first thing we do in the morning is to check the pH in the subtank. The pH, a measure of how acidic the water is, determines the health of the fish, the creation of bacteria in the system

    Five kingdoms and Three terms

    The fungi, the mycelium and the mushroom

    First, let's tackle the fungi. Fungi are one of the species of the five kingdoms and it is the closest one to Animalia, ergo animals, including humans. Animals even evolved out of the fungi. That's...

    Mycorrhizal fungi and their function

    As I wrote, fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. The third big group is mycorrhizal fungi. Which to me is the most inspiring group. It is the fungi that is connected to plants.

    Optimizing our African Catfish feed

    My project for the past 8 weeks has been to look at how we could use waste streams from both the aquaponics greenhouse and the kitchen to feed our catfish to make the system as circular as possible.
