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.

Thanks for this! I'm replacing the current article with the one you provided.

Mushroom igloo was not on my bingo list.

Will it require levitation to reach the top floors?

Just sit on one end of the couch and ask your mom to sit on the other end.
