Interview with Stephen from Ecovative and Customer Service Lady from Fungi Perfecti:

• Free form mycelium fabrication could be doable, just remember to degerm.
• Can’t be pressed in small mold because it will be hard to take out of the mold.
• Can try to put growing log in the mold I make to grow, but cut it in half equals to cut the nutrients in half.

Discuss with Scott:

• Questions for myself
  • organic or clean? based on what message I want to send, what emotion I want people to have be intrigued, be bound, to have raw motion from
  • —> messy, wild, crazy —> Organic!

Lab:

• kind of achieve to mimic the movement of the mushroom: when no one near, the mushroom keeps swinging, when ppl come near, the mushroom is aware and then stops.
• problems: swing speed needs to slow down, could be more sensitive and accurate. ASK around. Yo.

Schedule:

• order oyster mushroom kit
• try using mycelium as dough(if it’s doable, project might change)
• physical design
• software design
• LAB in shops
• blue foam: big & small fungi
• wood base box
• put oyster mushroom in it and wait it to grow!!!
