From Field to Form: Mycelium

The Architectural League of New York's From Field to Form lecture series explores the possibilities, life cycles, and architectural implications of plant and earth-based materials.

Mycelium is the network of fungal threads, technically called hyphae, that are harnessed to do everything from cleaning up toxic waste sites to providing elegant wood stains to medicinal and culinary uses. The kingdom fungi can also be harnessed to mold bricks and grown to insulate healthier, climate positive buildings.

Organized in partnership with Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design, this program will explore the potential of mycelium to shape the future of healthy buildings.
