Mycomaterials are supposed to be the next big thing. As they will be grown from bacteria and/or fungi, they will be fully sustainable and recyclable. This is from an actual press release about scientific research

quote:
The project is investigating so-called "Engineered Living Materials" (ELMs). ELMs are materials composed of living cells that retain their biological activity within different use scenarios. The project will investigate new functionalities of these materials, such as their inherent intelligent, adaptive and self-healing properties.
Prof. Eveline Peeters of the VUB's Microbiology research group explains: "We are talking about benign fungi and bacteria that are not harmful to health. Interest in the use of fungi for various material applications, so-called mycomaterials, is on the rise. For example, Adidas and Hermes are developing prototypes for shoes and bags from these materials as sustainable alternatives to animal leather or plastic. The automotive sector is also interested in experimenting with seat covers or dashboard insulation made from mycomaterials. In current experiments and applications, the mold is killed at the end of the production phase. But this new project FUNGATERIA is visionary and goes one step further: what if we let the organisms live while using the material? We could then, for example, make shoes out of "fungal leather," which could heal itself if scratched."
end quote

Now, perhaps I have seen too many B movies, but this definitely has potential for a horror scenario, perhaps with some zombies thrown in.

My first two thoughts were either Forbidden World with the new food source that starts eating people or They Came From Within (AKA Shivers) with the parasites that were supposed to replace people's internal organs...

But at the end, I found myself wondering what would happen if this stuff started mingling with that yucky stuff y' find in an old pair of socks.....

This is not a bad movie idea. It has potential.

I'm sure like a lot of new technologies, it'll be feared at first.  Then eventually we'll wonder how we ever lived without it.

Well, this material is already here and it's growing rapidly.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
