Hi All,
I just learned about Greensulate, a new product scheduled for mass
production in 2010. Essentially they pulp paper, add rice hulls or
hemp seed (or some other locally available material) water and
mushroom fibers. Let it "cook" for a week or two (read: let the
mushrooms grow in the dark), then heat it up to drive off the excess
moisture. Apparently the mushroom digests the sugars in the paper
pulp and creates a fiberous matrix.
