This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

This needs better branding.

Would you like some more mycelium from my modular synthetic biology toolkit?

I'm not quite seeing the point for these products since delicious fresh mushrooms can be grown at home from substrate that mostly doesn't use human food as components. When I retire I might pick up growing food mushrooms as a useful hobby, along with a conventional food forest/kitchen garden.

You should start looking now for used lab equipment like Laminar flowhood and pressure sterilizers. Over time I built out a quite decent lab from things being discarded from colleges and hospitals that junk dealers bought for cheap and had no market for. i got a $10000 laminar flowhood for $800 and probably could have got it cheaper but i had to ship the 300kilo beast and that was half the cost. i just contact the junk dealers and haggle with them quite a bit. i dont know if european/german hospitals and schools are inefficient as in usa where they just periodically rip everything out and buy new stuff for no reason, auctioning off perfectly fine equipment for pennies on the dollar. I used to see sealed cheap surplus soviet era NBC and HEPA filters for sale you could build homebrew laminar flow system out of too, but haven't looked in a long time.
