Fly your mushroom with pride
At this time of the year we all take stock of what has been achieved and what are the possibilities for the future. One of the most intriguing ideas of this year was the story of the biodegradable drone. Yes, I too read the story with some incredulity. However, upon reading the detail (not just the headline) we find out that it’s only the chassis, made from a root-like fungal material called Mycelium, that biodegrades, leaving the motors, props, ESC’s and battery intact! However, researchers at Stanford say that they are working on this problem next.

Abstract

At this time of the year we all take stock of what has been achieved and what are the possibilities for the future. One of the most intriguing ideas of this year was the story of the biodegradable drone. Yes, I too read the story with some incredulity. However, upon reading the detail (not just the headline) we find out that it’s only the chassis, made from a root-like fungal material called Mycelium, that biodegrades, leaving the motors, props, ESC’s and battery intact! However, researchers at Stanford say that they are working on this problem next.
