Scientists have engineered so many new products from mycelium that Scientific American heralds the dawn of the “Mycelium Revolution” and Harper’s Bazaar dubs fungi “The Future of Fashion.” Explore how scientists have harnessed mycelium’s ability to create complex structures that are now being used as eco-friendly alternatives to plastic, leather, meat, and Styrofoam. This online lecture with John Michelotti is sponsored by the New York Botanical Garden on Tuesday, February 28, and is $45 for NYBG members, $49 for nonmembers. Register at www.nybg.org
