    We are building a Pigeon Tower #2

    During the first building a mycelium pigeon tower workshop we had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Unfortunately, there is nothing left to show for all the hard work except pictures and videos. Now it...

    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...

    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...

    okt '20 – Duiventoren 04

    De blokken mycelium van paddenstoelenkweker John Verbruggen, die we gebruiken voor de bouw, zijn breed en zwaar en geven ons meer zekerheid bij het stapelen dan bij de vorige torens. Om een ronde...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
