Mushroom fact of the week!

When wood is selectively decayed by specific white-rot fungi species the resulting material can be crafted into a myco-wood violin. These instruments have enhanced acoustic properties that are compared to the renowned Stradivarius family of string instruments. 

Staradivari were crafted with wood from trees that had been exposed to a “little ice age” producing wood that was more chemically uniform and therefore produced better sound. This combined with the exceptional craftsmanship of Stradivari led to the instruments being so unique.

Mycowood violins offer musicians a higher quality instrument at a more affordable price. 

I recommend this article, if you scroll to the bottom there are two audio files you can play to compare the sound of a mycowood violin to a regular one
