Human-made materials are often non-recyclable and solely for anthropocentric use. Coccia states, „Nature is the only one that designs in relation to non-living matter”, emphasizing the need for a new relationship with our spaces. Mycologist Phillip Ross has been creating durable, water-resistant, mold-resistant, and fireproof bricks from Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) since 2011. This innovation hints at a future where sustainable, interspecies design could gradually reshape our approach to materials, urging us to rethink our use of resources and harmonize with the environment.
