https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/rebeka-palfi/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlBackground I am an industrial product design engineer, and my MSc thesis followed a material-driven design approach, instead of starting from a predefined product, I started by growing mycelium composites myself and letting their behaviour guide the design decisions. I grew Pleurotus mycelium on sawdust, straw, sunflower seed husks, paper and cotton, and other textiles. Also tried to give a nw life to spent mushroom blocks donated by a small artisanal mushroom farm in Budapest. Most of my characterisation was exploratory, I also struggled with contaminaton a lot.Hugoen
