Exterior (left) and interior (right) view of MY-CO SPACE. The pavilion was designed for the tinyBE #1 exhibition in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) and open to the public as well as bookable for overnight stays in summer 2021 [12]. MY-CO SPACE draws attention to the deconstruction and reconstruction potential of fungi and how they transform and recycle organic material. It invites one to a journey into the microscopically small but macroscopically experienceable world of fungi. The needs of the inhabitants are secured by fungi—they live sheltered in a fungal pavilion, sit on fungal furniture, use woven textiles stained with fungal pigments, and are illuminated by fungal lamps at night. A microscope assists in the observation of fungal mycelia formation, and a telescope offers contact to the outside world and the macrocosm. © MY-CO-X, image credits: Wolfgang Günzel, tinyBE
