It unfolds through a semi-fictional narrative about an alternative power plant and probes the hypothesis of energy produced by a symbiotic relationship between mushrooms and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a mycoglomerate, Mushroom Power Plant utilizes Geobacter bacteria that gains its energy by using iron oxide (an abundant rust-like mineral found in soils and sediments) in the same way humans use oxygen. The mud element connects with the component of carbonized mushroom slurry, which in turn replaces the graphite typical in conventional battery production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the <a class=\"ek-link\"
