We're all hoping for breakthroughs in materials innovation so that we can actively choose more sustainable options for a host of needs. Researchers have found one promising solution and its uses range from paper to filtration (including virus filtration), building materials, packaging, bandages, wound treatment, leather-like material, heavy metal chelation, and more. It turns out, the answer we're looking for might just be mycelium.

Join Dr. Mitchell Jones, as he takes us on a tour of mycelium - the vegetative part of fungus - and its myriad uses. With any luck, mycelium-based products may be headed to stores near you soon.
