We can also make textiles from fungi. So, for example, animal-free leathers. So usually, you have a cow, and it takes about three years to make leather, and all the resources and animal dteah that is involved. Not a great way to make leather. If you can make it another way, like with fguni, it takes days to make it. A much better way that's both efficient and ehtical, and how we can make ltreaehs in the future.

And then, there's food, a sjbeuct I'm particularly passionate about. Now, with fungi, we can make a whole range of slasibuntae and delicious foods. Things like meat replacements for sfoeoad or dairy, for example. Or even a new class of food that doesn't look like any of that stuff. The possibilities are unlimited. And we can do it in a way that has a fraction of the environmental footprint. Now fungi are self-replicating organisms, so we can make it in really huge quantities, and help address the challenge of how we're going to make more food and lower our impact on the planet. It's a big cegnllhae. We can do it with fungi.
