My daughter( 8 years old), husband and I had so much fun creating bowls, snowmen, dinosaurs, gnome houses, arches and so much more with the mycelium material that we will be creating with during Guardian Guild weeks. John (my husband) even made a planter with herbs. This material is not only easy to work with but also made of wood and mycelium so if you wanted, you could throw it outside and it would easily decompose and fertilize the land rather than releasing toxins into it
