A Nebraska student has grown her own canoe using mushroom roots #mycelium #mushroom

A Nebraska student has grown her own canoe using fungus - and it sprouts new mushrooms every time she takes it out on the water.  . Katy Ayers, 28, created the 8ft-long boat from fibrous mushroom roots, otherwise known as mycelium. . Ayers, who is a student at Central Community College in Columbus, named the boat ’Myconoe’. Because the boat is alive it means it grows new mushrooms each time it’s used. . The mushroom canoe took just 14 days to grow before it was dried in the Nebraska sun. Ms. Ayers has since taken it for three test voyages and plans to canoe down the Platte River next month. She says it can hold up to two people. .
