How Fungi Will Shape Our Future

Описание: Over 90% of fungi are undocumented, yet fungi make up a kingdom - a group as big as plants or animals. Although we know so little about them, we are beginning to discover how we can use them to help build a better future - through their abilities to solve our urban planning and problems, resist harsh conditions, break things down (mycoremediation), and create new resources (mycofabrication). Will fungi be the solution we need to the climate and ecological crises and bring us closer to a solarpunk future?
