Fungi--good and beautiful?

David C., one of your classmates, brought this first article to my attention. A potential very good use of a fungal product. What do you think? Would you drink out of a cup made of fungi (extracts)?

The second link was given to me by a colleague here at COC. Her daughter is 3, and loves "germs", fungi (likes to let stuff rot and then look at in under a microscope), and insects. She's 3!!! This link shows fungi as art, what do you think? Revolting or beautiful?
