TED Talk: Are Mushrooms the New Plastic?
I love TED talks. I just saw a new one featuring Eben Bayer of evocativedesign, creator of MycoBond, an organic adhesive that turns mycelium and substrate into a foam-like material for packaging and insulation. The company’s ecocradle is a foam packaging material and greensulate is an insulating material. I previously wrote about evocativedesign in First Building Material, Now Packaging.
The comments under the video at the TED website are quite interesting too. Not everyone is convinced this idea will make the cut in the long run. Here it is:
Lot’s of blogs and news sites mention MycoBond but they pretty much all say the same thing. Might as well learn about from the evocativedesign website. I can’t find any independent comments or reviews of anyone who has actually used the product. I’d like to hear from someone using an evocativedesign product who is unaffiliated with the manufacturer.

evovcativedesign is spelt wrong. its evocative design.
Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it.
