A pioneering group of architecture students at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences has unveiled MyGlu, an innovative igloo-shaped shelter constructed entirely from mycelium, offering a sustainable and adaptable solution for low-cost housing in hot, arid regions.

This approach not only benefits the environment but also sets a precedent for future educational projects that prioritize sustainability.

When an article is talking about a prototype construct but only shows a single AI-generated image that should set off your bullshit detector. Here's a proper article showing the actual real and practical mycellium igloo, not an AI-generated hairy trypohobia ballsack.
