Creating the Greenest Possible Clothing with Living Fungi

28 sec read57 views0 listens

Researchers have developed a platform for creating 'engineered living materials' using fungi, specifically a fungal textile that can self-heal and respond to environmental stimuli. This innovation, demonstrated with fungi like Cordyceps militaris, aims to create sustainable and adaptable fabrics with potential applications in clothing that can block UV radiation and change color. Further research is needed to assess practical aspects like washability and comfort for widespread adoption.
