1 -We begin by growing mushrooms in our local

community farms.

-Mycelium (the material that we will be using) is the

root of the mushroom.

-Roots can be separated easily from the fruit body

and the fruit body sold to create funds for the
project.

-Mycelium is then planted in the soil that is to be
potted.

-We then plant our plant of choice. We went with

a Forest Pansy. It can be easily grown in Scotland
and would not be distracting for drivers.

-Mycelium then integrates with plant roots and as

mycelium feeds off of and stores C02, the C02
intake of the plant is increased.

3 -The plants are then planted with the mycelium soil

into a mycelium plant pot.

-These pots are created by heating the roots of the

mushrooms we have grown and moulding them into
shape.

-The pot itself helps to remove CO2 from the

atmosphere by storing it.

-It provides food to the plants and allows water to

drain. This makes the plants completely self-sustaining.

5 -Plant pot and holding are placed onto motorway sign.

-They take in CO2 from passing vehicles.

-Once the pots have become over saturated, they are

removed.

-They can be replanted under a layer of topsoil to

provide nutrients to a new batch of mushrooms.

-They can also be recycled and used to create both

insulation and a concrete alternative for use on building
sites.
