    All of this is very cool and makes me wonder if it could be used to replace my plastic based 3d printer at home, if there is a way to make this accessible for hobbyists.

    Instead of an FDM format you’d need to have a CNC machine, but those aren’t terribly harder to aquire than your a good 3d printer.

    I’m sure eventually you could buy these bricks directly, but for now it’d probably have to be homemade bricks.

    Edit: Looks like it doesn’t CNC very well, unless you’re making a massive piece that doesn’t require much accuracy:

    And there are some companies that ship kits that give you the substrate + mycelium mix, just add water, flour, and keep things sanitary.
