For the first experiment, we were interested in combining mycelium with plaster in order to create a hybrid material. Since plaster is easy to use, fast to dry and often used to cast a shape. We tried to merge it with mycelium to see the result. Both materials have properties we tried to take advantage of. We started with a broken plaster brick we 'fixed' by growing mycelium on it. The result was a bi-material brick ("Hybricks").
The second time, We poured the plaster in a mould with a mycelium puzzle-shaped brick, to merge the two of them.
