Myco-Barrier Building Blocks
Bio-engineered building blocks made from mycelium (mushroom roots) that are naturally fire-resistant, biodegradable, and locally sourced. These blocks can be used to construct entire homes or create fire-resistant barriers around existing structures. Open-source designs and DIY instructions empower communities to build their own fire-safe homes.
