Stalker was intrigued by the tale of the 28 year old college student who constructed her own canoe to paddle, and it was made out of mushrooms.
Katy Ayers said she spent $500 on spawn, tools and equipment to build the canoe. It looks not unlike a coracle, the boat they race on the west coast of Ireland.
Her real goal with the eye-catching project is to raise broader awareness about mushrooms.
She is part of a growing movement of mushroom advocates, “people who believe these squishy, sometimes edible fungi can help solve some of our most pressing environmental problems”. It’s always good advice to paddle your own canoe in this life - Stalker wishes her well in all her future endeavours.
