Fellow microbigal editor and contributor Julie Grubaugh talks about how the mycelial network and fungi can be used to make everything from leather to chairs; Jon talks about how microbes can be used to power batteries; and Tess tells us how microbes can make calcium carbonate that can be used to stabilize shorelines, fill gaps in statues, and even protect the environment from mining waste.
