/Mind the Fungi/ ist ein kollaboratives Forschungsprojekt zwischen dem 
Institut für Biotechnologie (TUB) und Art Laboratory Berlin (ALB). Es 
kombiniert wissenschaftliche Forschung, Citizen Science und Künstler- 
und Design-Residencies. Das Projekt erforscht innovative Methoden und 
Gebrauchsweisen von Biomaterial, das aus Baumpilzen gemacht 
wird.Wissenschaftler des Instituts für Biotechnologie der Technischen 
Universität Berlin erforschen neue Materialien aus Baumpilzen. Art 
Laboratory Berlin bringt in diesem Themenfeld Künstler, Designer und 
Wissenschaftler mit einem breiten Publikum zusammen.


Die Ausstellung zeigt, wie wir in unserem Projekt verschiedene Baumpilze 
aus Berlin und Brandenburg auf unterschiedlichen pflanzlichen Rohstoffen 
wachsen (z.B. auf Holzspänen) und Biomaterialien in verschiedenen 
Formen, Strukturen und Qualitäten hergestellt haben. Einige aktuelle 
Bespiele reichen von Myzel-Backsteinen bis hin zu veganem Leder und 
Designprodukten.Videos und Slide-Shows dokumentieren das Art 
Science-Projekt „Mind the Fungi", stellen die einzelnen Team-Mitglieder 
vor und geben einen tieferen Einblick in die kreative Welt eines 
interdisziplinären Arbeitsprozesses.

/Mind the Fungi/ is a collaboration between the TU Berlin Institute for 
Biotechnology (TUB) and Art Laboratory Berlin (ALB), combining 
scientific research, citizen science and artist and designer 
residencies-in-lab. The project researches innovative uses for 
biomaterials produced from tree fungi. Researchers at TU Berlin's 
Institute of Biotechnology create new materials from natural sources. 
How and what you grow the material on defines its qualities. Art 
Laboratory Berlin brings together for this topic artists, scientists and 
the public to share knowledge and experience new forms of creativity 
through exhibitions, talks and workshops.


The exhibition shows how we have cultivated various tree fungi with 
different media (i.e. on substrate such as sawdust), and produced 
biomaterials with different shapes, structures and qualities. Some 
current examples range from mycelium bricks to 'vegan leather' and 
other design products. Videos and slide shows document the Art Science 
project "Mind thr Fungi", introduce the individual team members and 
provide a deeper insight into the creative world of an interdisciplinary 
work process.
