GIY Materials: Growing Fungi for BioFabrication
Home: California, United States
This 'GIY Materials: Growing Fungi for BioFabrication presentation will introduce Grow-It-Yourself methods and projects that use the magic of mycelium, mushrooms, and other biological organisms to produce renewable materials that can be heat resistant, water resistant, and biodegradable…. and maybe even help clean the environment! Examples of projects involving fashion, electronics, and architecture will be shown along with some tips and resources on how you, too, can grow your own materials for future projects.

Elizabeth Marley
Hello! I'm an educator, maker, and architect who enjoys biodesign adventures, participatory public art, and inter-species collaboration to fabricate eco-friendly creations . . . just to name a few of my favorite things.

Discovering new materials that have less negative impact on our environment is at the forefront of my biodesign and biomaterial explorations. I find sharing the growing GIY community, projects, and array of possibility with a wider audience also fulfilling and necessary for addressing ways to use renewable and ecologically sound materials to replace wasteful materials proliferated by consumer culture, fast fashion and building industries.
