Invitation to the exhibition ‘Into the Depths of Fungi’

Come and see the exhibition of the SAMOROST project called ‘Into the Depths of Fungi’.

You will learn about everything that went into creating the SAMOROST House, which uses mycelium as a sustainable alternative to traditional, non-organic materials. A cross-section of the house will show you in practice where the myco-composite can be used in construction.

The SAMOROST House is being built under the auspices of the Minister of the Environment, Petr Hladík.

The partner and host of the exhibition ‘Into the Depths of Fungi’ is the National Technical Library, which has provided its gallery for the purpose.

The National Technical Library (NTK) runs the National Centre for Information Support of Research, Development, and Innovation (NCIP) The centre’s Corporate Services Department manages thematic ‘information nests’ on current trends, and presents comprehensive information, including research outputs, on sustainable mycelium-based building materials in its new ‘Smart Materials’ information nest. The aim is to raise public awareness of these trends and, in particular, the potential uses of myco-composite. In addition to its real-life, physical form, the nest also occurs as a digital version: a thematic mini-web with information on planned activities in the Smart Materials section. The information nest can be found on the 3rd floor of the NTK in Dejvice.

Under the auspices of the NCIP VaVai project, NTK is now hosting an exhibition of the innovative SAMOROST project ‘Into the Depths of Fungi’. The project explores and puts into practice new mycelium-based materials in construction and industrial design. The National Technical Library is providing the NTK Gallery space for the exhibition.
