    What about growing furniture out of mushrooms then adding some moss for the seat I might do a moss ceiling because steam rises Definitely got mushroom as insulation And mushrooms as leather And mushrooms as lionsmane steaks There are many varietys of Moss I always wanted to do like a colour chart of all the mosses Like those carpet shops have Moss removes pollution But what if we just don't make any I'm going no pollution no fuel no batteries and no plastic for the health of our planet Gravity powered 💡 Magneticly heated♨️ Lightbulb water mist flame effects🔥 And Acoustic fire extinguisher Because i imagine they last longer than normal ones being that it's just a speaker in a bucket with a hole cut out But yea free energy Is real Gravity is infinite Infinite power sources do not require energy storage And there's also good compressed air cars now Maybe sails on vehicles will make a comeback from the early 1900s But they have evolved since then

    Excited about some moss on its way to me. I've had plans for making a moss checkerboard for years. I had a baby, and I am planning to place her on moss holding a 4 leaf clover. She is so magical and will look like a little leprechaun. After the shoot, I will attempt my checkerboard. Chess would be difficult with the unlevel tiles, but I might attempt it with my fairy chess pieces.

    I"m finally coming out of my shell with my synesthesia. I have been put down, discriminated against, and told you just want attention to the point of, I keep it to myself. I see color when music is played, natural sounds are made, when a note or tone is played. I hear the sound of color when I see stained glass window, paintings, or just looking around. My world is like fantasia, 24/7, it's beautiful. I have been living my life thinking everyone see's this way, or hears this way... not so, or they have believed what others have said just to fit in and suppressed it to the point they don't pay attention to it any more. I believe their are more out there that have it, but, it's different and being normal is not being different, I've been around a long time and I'm still trying to figure what is normal...

    I’m wanting to make faces just like these all around the woods on our property in Maine. They’ll be like spooky and cool surprises as you walk the trails. But I wasn’t sure how to construct a face. You really explained it so well, which parts protrude or are recessed and so forth. I am ready and motivated to get started! (Though I wish you were here to guide me on the first few!)

    Hi there, came across this in my search for a problem I'm having. You did a great job and saw at the end that it was part of CT grant....yay! A CT resident myself and we have LOTS of moss. I glue it also, but because I use "messy" moss and it is on something vertical, I'm looking for some sort of spray to help with the inevitable dropping moss. Could find absolutely nothing on the web. But yes, enjoyed watching this, informative.

    Slightly off topic, I'm looking to preserve moss in epoxy and I'm worried about trapping a lot of moisture in the epoxy. Seeing as you seem to know more than I about moss, do you reckon I need to worry about the moisture and if so, how long should I let it dry?

    Mossive! So I‘m kinda getting into doing this stuff and I just felt like sticking it would be so easy but glue feels a little weird doesn‘t it... So I found some resin from the trees which becomes really sticky when you burn it and afterwards becomes hard just like glue. The process is pretty messy but it also smells gud ;)

      It could seem rare because people don't know what it is. Nobody really knows about it or what it can look like. So now that people are explaining it, others are like "oh wow, I do that, I think I have it too." And since it's not a disability, it's not like people are gonna formally diagnose it.
