  1. Wow a lot of mushrooms in the world most of them are poisonous but I never dreamed a mushroom in a cell phone but I do like paintings and jigsaw puzzles and pictures of mushrooms imagine that a screensaver with mushrooms on it anything is possible who knows maybe they are mushrooms and outer space I have had mushrooms growing in the bathroom believe it or not I moved in a shack next to a slaughterhouse and yes they was mushrooms growing in the bathroom we even had rats and all right across from free water it is known as a Johnson residence Irvington nothing like a run-down Shack

  2. we shouldnt be treating electronics like they are disposable. thats the problem, not the fact that plastic circuit boards arent biodegradable

  3. I love the effort to loop these shorts. As I watch shorts as a video changing the URL with (watch?v=) I end up getting confused initially then realise what has happened.

  4. Electronics engineer here, no just no, this is pure clickbait sci-fi bullcrap. Here's why:
    (A) Nobody is going to retool IC assembly lines, change dies to utilize the new substrate, that cost's too much.
    (B) This has a negligible effect on sustainability, oh yay you replaced the 10% of plastic with fungi, but you still have the silicon die, the FR4 board, the copper in the PCB, solder, etc.
    (C) Plastic is a cheap, reliable way to seal and insulate a wafer, Fungi doesn't have the same vetting! IE – If you're going to spend 200 million dollars to do a fab run, you're not going to use a technology like this.

    The real solution to a sustainable future is simply to buy used devices instead of new crap and fix/recycle your broken electronics. Biodegradable electronics is not going to happen and will just make the problem worse since products that use them will need to be replaced quicker (since they biodegrade).

  5. This is groundbreaking, but phone manufacturer logic goes

    literal magic mushroom thats literally a W in every way used ❌
    removing charger from the box to save the whole multiverse from a hyper intelligent alien species invasion (aka. courage) ✅

  6. Innovations/discoveries like these don't mean anything, what matters is how fast/much can we make it, way more than how it's actually made.

  7. Everyone saying "it'll degrade so it's not viable" that's not necessarily true. It'll be enclosed in a sealed metal frame. Bio-degradable means you need insects and/or bacteria for that to start happening. This is why when someone dies inside a house and isn't found for an extended period of time they may not be degraded or fully degraded. Basically what you need to degrade is found in soil. Liquid damage could be very well be even more catastrophic than it is now however.
