🍄 Mycology
Approximately 1.5 billion years ago the Queendom Fungora emerged, and enjoyed unchallenged evolutionary domainace for ~300 million years prior to Plantae, eventually dinosaurs, around 50,000 years ago early humans. Despite this very few if any aspect of modern society leverage these capabilities and largely prefer cellulose which lacking the dilectrical capabilities is unsuitable for the proposed application. Presently petroleum & plastics principally provides the modern analogues that we hope to replace with mechatronic cultivation of fungi & mushrooms as a means to challenge the cellulose renewable economies and provide a furtherer and more disruptive effect to societal dependence on petroleum. This is structured as a self-funded impact investment (additional investments accelerate the plans, but are not explicitly necessary). The non-petroleum method is always preferred to test the system on earth before someday hopefully shipping one or more of the systems to Mars to produce materials suitable for a martian biosphere & interplanetary research organization. For this reason the system is designed from a very 'first-principal' high-utility, extreme-durability, entirely open-source equipment & systems fabrication approach without petroleum, coal (or with petroleum bio-fuel analogs) as an input.
grow mushrooms
- principally (*hopefully entirely) mechatronic cultivation & monitoring
- capture Co2 sequesteration into soap.
- controlled environment for cultivation of 'doped' (infused, impregnated) mycelial chitin
- Queendom Fungora 800 million year old evolutionary genetic bank (existing 300m years before Plantae)
- no present day commercial market ~$100M USD, mostly snake-oil beauty cosmetics
- present day markets favor cellulose ligands as "renewable" material, has economy of scale
- design small systems prototypes and then scale suitable manufacturing applications.
