A pavilion made of mushroom roots was grown for the Glastonbury music festival, in a “fungi first” for the event.
The structure built in the electronic music section of the site was intended to represent how people are connected to each other at music events.
Called the Pavilion, it was made using panels of mycelium, the root part of fungi.
“Mycelium roots have hundreds of different strands, but we have chosen a particular strain that works well when you bind it with agricultural waste,” Ben Price, the project lead, told the BBC.
