Mushrooms a Magic Building Insulation Alternative

I would rather have insulation that lasts a long time than insulation that is biodegradable.

Styrene is absorbed into human fatty tissues and is found in 100% of dead people tested but not at levels more than 1/3 the levels known to cause harm. Most of the styrene absorbed will come from food packaging like Styrofoam cups and and burger boxes which are known to lose weight when heated. If it was considered dangerous then the EPA and equivalent bodies around the world would ban it for use as food packaging. Personally I never eat off the Styrofoam buried under my floor or in my walls. I never heat it to the level where it will leach styrene. This is a classic instance of bad science used to promote a commercial product. Where is Ralph Nader when I need him? Why is there not a public outcry to stop firms using unjustified scare tactics to sell product? I don't often call for additional legislation but this is an instance where it would be welcome.

And with mushroom insulation in the walls, the house will NEVER pass a mold inspection. Molds are fungi, so the equipment that detects mold will keep getting a positive when inspecting the insulated walls, so the building will be declared uninhabitable due to the mold levels and need to be torn down.

Great Job, Mushrooms, You've helped to relieve the homeowner of their single largest financial burden, their home!

If the 'science' in that article (There's nothing in it that backs up any claims, no sources, it just states its points as if they were universal facts, like 1+1=2 (Which isn't even a universal fact, in base-2, 1+1=10)) were any more 'junk' it'd be Homeopathy!
