This design-research stream investigates the biological system of mycorrhizae, tiny soil-borne beneficial fungi, and its interdependence with other living species, particularly edible plant communities. Considering the mutual benefits of these extended living networks, this design-research stream experiments with mycelial strata as growing media for integrated agricultural production particularly within heavily contaminated sites.
