We examine a 3D-printed mycelium project and ask a simple question: what happens biologically when we change a living material to make it easier to fabricate?

From particle size and water content to line width, pH and binders, the episode explores how print settings can also become biological conditions, and why biodesigners need to make those trade-offs visible.
