“Mushrooms are here to help us—they’re a gift,” Ayers told NBC. “There’s so much we can do with them beyond just food; it’s so limitless. They’re our biggest ally for helping the environment.”
The canoe is made of mycelium—the dense, fibrous, underground material that links together the various fruiting parts (the toadstools we see on the ground or our dinner plates).

Might be an idea for wind farm blades...
EXCERPT...
Already, mushrooms are being used to create compostable car parts for Ford and Ikea has committed to transition much of its plastic packaging to a mushroom-based renewable alternative.

Can someone do some Splainin???

Very original and innovative. Good for her!
Just be sure to bring a few heavy towels to sit on while inside that Mushroom Canoe.
She should get some kind of scholarship or grant from an industry. She’s not afraid of long term hard work.

I would like to grow some mushrooms, but not for that purpose.

She has a weird hobby. Needs to find something better to do with her time — like meeting some Fun Guy.

I’d better point this out right away. Yes, mushrooms are here to help us. But mushroom people are NOT. If you don’t believe me, watch this video.

Well, with a 100 pound canoe, you would need arms like that.
FFS, like our native american forbears couldn't figure out the most lightweight efficient canoe type for river travel ??
