These are spores this is in their spores.

This is a brain from a lamprey eel.

looked at it under the microscope, you plated the culture, you injected the antiserum.

This is cultures, identical cultures, of cervical cancer cells.

They kept him in his girl's chart too long.

It was a proteinrich incubator.

less than half the size of a postage stamp.

living lamprey eel brain.

All you need is a single oncogene.

But this mistake turned out to be rather serendipitous.

Not only that, but they can also be used for disease models.

But that's, again, shooting fish in a barrel, you know, right?

Growing a mushroom is also part of a larger practice of cultivating decomposing organisms called decompiculture, a concept that was developed by an entomologist,

But now, you don't have to have the animal itself to regenerate, because you can build cloned mice molars in Petri dishes.

One of the assignments for a year was to work with in vitro meat.

He can actually grow beating tissue in a dish.

Timothy Myles.

Let's see how powerful just one of these essentials can be.

like the Infinity Mushroom.

I'm going to show you now, a very short clip,

You see, I accidentally cracked the flask that had contained our third enrichment culture, and as a result, we had to wipe down the incubator room with bleach and ethanol twice.

It's never been shown.

So the bath on the left is after five days, and on the right, after 10.

And we feed them sterilely of course with what we call cell culture media which is like their food and we grow them in incubators.

The dendritic pattern you see mimics the growth of mushroom mycelia, which are the equivalent of plant roots.

I wanted to cultivate this perspective just like the mushrooms, so I formed the Decompiculture Society, a group of people called decompinauts who actively explore their postmortem options, seek death acceptance and cultivate decomposing organisms

Interestingly, this is a book that was published back in 1938.

This is SymbioticA, and they've been working they were the first ones to do this in vitro meat and now they've also done an in vitro coat, a leather coat.

The RCA is really quite an amazing school from that viewpoint.

This was done by Teruo Okano at Tokyo Women's Hospital.

Surgeons are not made either.

In Australia they did it this research company, called SymbioticA.

like of the Agarikon mushroom.

And what we do is we grow extracellular matrix from pigs.

We grow the cells outside the body in large quantities.

The tissue growing technology here is...

We then tease the cells apart, we grow the cells outside the body.

And afterwards, with the incubation period, my guess is a good week to infect a new set of monkeys.

The tissue could be grown in Copenhagen and implanted here.

The first thing you do as a scientist is, you make sure stuff works.

What you're looking at on this slide is just a person from my lab holding a flask of a liquid culture of a bacterium, a harmless beautiful bacterium that comes from the ocean, named Vibrio fischeri.

Hyalograft C. We grow tissue from your own cells.

years ago, when i worked with the defense department, we were tasked with a program designed to cultivate soldiers.
