Stalker is always on the lookout for novel uses that mushrooms are put to.
From making handbags, to boosting the sugar content of chocolate, from furniture making to battery powering, and much more, there are always novel ways that people are using fungi.
This month a new use came to the fore with an item on eco-conscious millennials hunting down new ways to unwind.
“The day begins with an early morning forage within the forest for mushrooms and bracken.
Next, after enough fungi are collected, comes a session of boiling, mashing and patting, and the addition of vibrant leaves and flowers till the mixture is prepared to position in a mould. The final result, some hours later, is a vibrant and individual sheet of mushroom paper – together with a helpful sense of wellbeing, calm and peace.”
Sounds a tad eccentric, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
