A large mushroom farm near the Kenyan capital of Nairobi is one of a kind: It grows fungi on an industrial scale — not as food for restaurants but as a building material that some Kenyans say could make more people homeowners.
A mushroom farm in Kenya and fungi-based panels give hope for sustainable building
A large mushroom farm near Nairobi is producing mycelium for building materials that end up as fungi-based panels, which are more sustainable and affordable than traditional bricks.

At this point I'm rooting for this to be a heist team of African artists that will exhibit Napoleon's jewelries in a National Museum in Kinshasa or Nairobi and when Macron demands it back they say: clearly you can't keep these objects safe, we should keep them here for the world to see its heritage.
I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

Today I'm absolutely bursting with pride. A couple months ago, Kenyan beauty brand Jani Beauty, contacted me to paint a lilac-breasted roller for them to use in their new shop in Nairobi. I've had the photos through and oh my goodness, it looks amazing!

Until Kipekee came along, Wamata was the favourite at our Nairobi Nursery. Initially, we witnessed sibling rivalry, but over time, she has changed her tune. In a sign of progress, Wamata even allowed Kipekee to play with her in the dust one day, engaging in gentle trunk touches: swt.bio/wamata
