FT025 - Engineered and Selected Microbes for Ag Biologicals 

Artificial Intelligence doesn't answer how chaga mushrooms compare to man made materials in terms of weight and strength etc. Perhaps Ginkgo Bioworks can apply civil engineering strength of materials tests to chaga mushrooms. The other biological aspect is how chaga mushrooms can be so hard and light and the collateral question whether they're primeval bones or the origin of manmal bones. The obvious market is augmenting bones in seniors and addressing osteoporosis. Related question is how stomach fascia can be bone like or muscle like. The bioengineering is to translate powdered chaga in the gut into bone or fascia in the musculoskeletal system. So, microbes to do the job. The whole family of mushrooms hard as wood or bone, may be helpful. Jhoon Rhee and "The Longevity Paradox...", by Gundry suggest seniors may have frail bones or youthful bones. Go Ginkgo go!
