Short Description aka Kratek opis
Workshop about the importance of mushrooms in our ecosystem, their cultivation and building of biohacked music box - MiniMycophone.
MiniMycophone - napravi si svoj lasten komunikacijski vtičnik s podgobjem sveta! Socialna omrežja znotraj človeške vrste so naš vsakdanjik, ki nas omrežuje, prepreda našo identiteto in širi naš komunikacijski biotop v neslutene širine. Se hočeš priklopiti na še večjo mrežo in preseči človeško vrsto ter vstopiti v resnični 'underground', kamor človeško uho le redko zaide? Želiš izvabiti zvok iz gob, se povezati z največjim organizmom na svetu, izvedeti kako glive lahko nadomestijo plastiko, zdravijo človeka in rešijo svet? Vse te skrivnosti podzemlja bomo razkrili na delavnici o pomenu gob v našem ekosistemu, o gojenju gob in naredili svojo bio-hakirano glasbeno skrinjico MiniMycophon.
Glossary
Mycelium
Mycelium (plural mycelia) is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. The mass of hyphae is sometimes called shiro, especially within the fairy ring fungi. Fungal colonies composed of mycelia are found in soil and on or within many other substrates. A typical single spore germinates into a homokaryotic mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually; when two compatible homokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms. A mycelium may be minute, forming a colony that is too small to see, or it may be extensive, some call it the largest organism in the world.
Agar
Agar or agar-agar is a gelatinous substance derived by boiling a polysaccharide in red algae, where it accumulates in the cell walls of agarophyte and serves as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls.Agar is a mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin. Throughout history into modern times, agar has been chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work.
Oyster Mushroom aka Pleurotus
Pleurotus is a genus of gilled mushrooms which includes one of the most widely eaten mushrooms, P. ostreatus. Species of Pleurotus may be called oyster, abalone, or tree mushrooms, and are some of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. Pleurotus fungi have been used in mycoremediation of pollutants such as petroleum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
