@dillyd I'm not entirely sure on that process, but that's interesting. I do like the idea of oilbeing mostly algae, very little dinosaur. Also have an algae tank on the go which petrochemical industry is allowed nowhere near.

@dillyd Fun fact: if fungi didn't exist, neither would we, we'd all be under a few km of dead trees. Fungi are one of the few things that process dead trees. (Or, yeah, obviously termites would rule the world.)

@dillyd It is, as far as I know, a long, slow growing fungi. And I believe the older ones work better. Worth a google before decimating old growth!

@avatastic @dillyd OK we all need you to expand on that?!

@dillyd Never done it myself (but have with damping a fire and relighting after 12hrs), so I believe it's possible. I'd go with something non-flammble, say green leaves, then a bunch of something insulating on top.

@kmmich @JeremiahFieldhaven Charmed be thy name? (Sorry, old callback, but watched Project Hail Mary recently.)

@Cyclist @dillyd i didn't try, hence I'm chuffed it's turned up as the endgame for a lifelong bit of furniture :)

@darrenmooney.bsky.social Can't fault it, superb bit of SF.
