...material can easily serve as mulch in your garden. Ecovative's next product, Greensulate, will begin targeting the home-insulation market sometime next year. And according to Bayer's engineering tests, densely packed mycelium is strong enough to be used in place of wooden beams. "It's not so far-out," he says of Ross's art house. So could Bayer see himself growing a mushroom house and living in it? "Well"--he hesitates--"maybe we'd start with a doghouse...

While reading "You are not my friend" I nodded in agreement, suddenly feeling like Stein and I were having a dialogue instead of one-way conversation. I too have blindly signed up with numerous social networks, resulting in an inbox blizzard of far-out birthday reminders and cyperbased karate kicks from friends of my friends. It's time to wake up and realize that you can't make real friends online. One can argue that services like Zyb and Twitter let you do just that, since most of our real friends and family are stored on our mobile phones...
