Fashion Fun with Fungi　真菌的時尚樂趣

　If you are someone who really likes mushrooms, a type of fungi, you will find this article very interesting. Now, in addition to enjoying a delicious slice of mushroom pizza, you can also wear mushroom clothes! An Italian company called Mogu has created pants, jackets, and even whole dresses from mycelium, the part of a mushroom growing under the soil.

　The mycelium can be grown in different ways to make different types of cloth. For instance, if you want to make the cloth very soft, you can feed the mushrooms one kind of food. If you want the cloth to be harder, like a shell, you can feed the mushrooms a different kind of food. If you want bright colors, the cloth can be dyed, and if you are concerned about safety, the cloth is both waterproof and fire-resistant! Unfortunately, the only thing you can’t do is eat it!
