Kingdom: Vegetabile.

//Description

“GIY is entitles for “Grow-It-Yourself” material. After years of rigorous research and dutiful development, Ecovative released GIY for public use. GIY utilizes the same mycelium technology that they use in the MycoFoam material.

Ecovative use mycelium, which is the vegetative growth stage of fungi. Spores are produced by the fruiting body or mushroom and they don’t grow materials long enough to produce mushrooms or spores.

Now you can grow things, at home, work, or school on a small scale. It is perfect for experimenting, testing ideas, and developing products at a small scale.” (Bayer and McIntyre, 2007).
