🍄 Version 1.5 of Mella is finally complete. We listened to mushroom enthusiasts just like YOU and incorporated your feedback into the design. 🍄 Now it's time to put Mella 1.5 to the test. We've assembled some of the titans of the mushroom industry and are shipping out 10 units of Mella 1.5 for them to test and critique. Thanks so much to everyone who applied. 🍄 Once we receive their feedback, we will build a Mella version 2.0 which will be available to purchase through crowdfunding in the next few months! 🍄 Sign up on www.mellamushroom.com for insider updates and early bird discounts when we launch! #mushrooms #mellamushroom #madformushrooms #firstbuild Shoutout to @FreshCap Mushrooms for the amazing feedback on version 1.0!

In this video, the FirstBuild team puts their heads together to generate ideas for Mella Mushroom spinoffs. Controlling humidity and airflow is essential for mushroom cultivation, but surely there are other applications for this technology...like a hamster mansion? Ugh, inventing can be hard... Watch the video to see what good ideas we came up with after a whole lot of bad ideas.

🍄 Mella is launching soon! 🍄 SIGN UP FOR UPDATES on our website so you don't miss it! https://mellamushroom.com 🍄. In this video, Danny and Jack harvest and cook a massive blue oyster mushroom that fruited in Mella. This block of blue oyster was top-fruited, which may have contributed to its strange growth. Results not necessarily guaranteed 😂

Champion blacksmith Collin Sage forged a beautiful 150 layer Damascus steel Dao sword, so naturally, we had to test it out. Watch as the FirstBuild team slices, dices, and thrusts their way through the grocery aisle. This Dao sword features a jade handle, stingray leather scabbard, and a mokume-gane pommel counterweight!
