MEET OUR TEAM
We are all students in the Appropriate Technology for the World's People: Design course at Cal Poly. We are passionate about sustainability and we each contribute unique elements to our project due to our diverse backgrounds. This is a picture from our first mycelium brick building experience as a team in which we tested four different mold shapes. Look below to find out a little bit more about our team!

I'm a fourth year Public Health student at Cal Poly. This is my first time working with mushrooms and mycelium, and it's been an amazing and insightful experience so far!

Hi! I'm a 4th year Physics Major. I love all things mycology, like foraging, cultivating, and making stuff out of mycelium. This summer, I'll be working on The Source Farm to build large structures out of mycelium!

I'm a fourth year Landscape Architecture major with a minor in Sustainable Environments. I'm looking forward to learning more about how mycelium bricks can be used as an alternative material.

I'm a second year Environmental Management and Protection Major with Minors in Biology and Sustainable Environments. I am interested in developing mycelium-based packaging, so I am very excited to get some hands on experience growing mycelium bricks.
