"Why are scientists shooting mushrooms into space?"
I photographed mushroom genius Phil Ross and his team for a Mazda produced by VICE UK back in November.
Phil is making a material that is light weight, bulletproof, fire resistant, floats, and its all made of mushrooms.

Before we meet with Andrew, we wanted to try and refine our design and came across Phil Ross' Mycotecture.
Even though these are predominantly furniture pieces (which we want to stay away from), we all love the architectural element and how Ross has focused on the structural qualities of the fungus while still managing to create something very organic and beautiful.
Leviathans - Phil Ross
Leviathans is a video of the slime-mold Physarum polycephalum. The slime-mold, though diminutive in size, is able to travel relatively large distances in a short period of time while searching for food. This is due to the way its body pulses and moves, which can be imagined as a harmonically rippling jellyfish like thing, propelling itself along on the oscillating waves of its own body. In moving, the slime-mold computes the physical world, and resolves analog problems in a way that is incomplete and messy while also being highly efficient and fast. There are a broad range of people conducting research on this organism, including those interested in evolution and developmental biology as well as programmers, scientists and technologists in artificial intelligence.
Leviathans’s images were captured at SymbioticA in 2007. Editing was done by Marcella Faustini. Scott Arford created and produced the soundtrack.
Mycotecture, Award of Distinction Hybrid Art, Prix Ars Electronica 2013 American artist Philip Ross began in the early 1990s to work on sculptures that consist entirely of living fungi. To make them, small pieces of mushroom tissue are introduced into a cellulose-based medium such as sawdust, which the living organisms eagerly devour and also use as a framework on which to grow. Within a week, this solidifies into a mass of interlocking cells. Like plaster or cement, mushrooms can be cast into almost any shape. Once they're dry, the artist has building blocks made of a very light, stable material at his disposal. In addition to an organic teahouse for an exhibition in Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Philip Ross has designed a line of fungus-based furniture. http://www.aec.at/totalrecall/en/2013... http://prix2013.aec.at/prixwinner/10480/ http://philross.org/projects/mycotect...
