A Fungus-Derived Material Could Serve as an Eco-Friendly Alternative to Concrete

One effective way to lessen our environmental impact is by adopting more sustainable construction methods. Cement production alone contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions—much of it used in making concrete. Solving this issue is challenging, as it demands eco-friendly materials that match concrete’s strength and require minimal upkeep. That’s why researchers are exploring engineered
