  • the nutrient medium may be maintained at a temperature ranging between 20°C and 30°C. Optimally, the nutrient medium is maintained at a temperature range of 23°C - 28°C.
  • the first stage fermentation process is executed in the absence of any direct sunlight.
  • the second stage fermentation process may be for a period of between 10 and 12 days. More particularly, the second stage fermentation process may be allowed to continue until the sheet material has grown to a thickness of between 8mm and 10mm.
  • the nutrient medium is again maintained at a temperature range of between 20°C and 30°C, and optimally at a temperature range of 23°C - 28°C.
  • the fermentation container may be an elongate and substantially cylindrical container.
  • “cylindrical” will be interpreted to include a container having a circular, oval, ecliptic, square, triangular, rectangular, hexagonal or the like cross-section.
  • the mixture may be introduced into the fermentation container such that the surface area of the nutrient medium is below the horizontal centerline of the
  • the surface area of the nutrient medium may be between 8mm and 10mm below the horizontal centerline of the cylindrical fermentation container, the arrangement being such that the sheet material is permitted to germinate until it has reached the horizontal centerline of the fermentation container, after which it is removed, at which point the sheet material should have a
  • the fermentation container may be a fermentation pipe having a diameter in the order of 100mm.
  • the fermentation pipe may vary in length, but the applicant has found that a pipe length in the order of 6m provides for good airflow and temperature control of the nutrient medium.
  • a method of producing an organic material wherein the material multiplies through a process of germination comprising the steps of preparing a starter nutrient medium in which an organic bacterial fungus will grow; adding an acidic medium to the starter nutrient medium for reducing pH of the same; adding a starter culture of the organic bacterial fungus to the nutrient medium; and permitting the mixture of acidic starter nutrient medium and fungus culture to undergo fermentation until the organic material has germinated fully.
  • the acidic medium may be distilled vinegar.
  • the acidic medium may be an acidic nutrient medium from a previous fermentation process.
  • the method may be characterised therein that it includes a two-stage fermentation process wherein the mixture of starter nutrient medium and fungus culture is permitted to undergo a first stage fermentation process, after which the mixture is transferred to a fermentation container and allowed to undergo a second stage fermentation process until the organic material has germinated fully.
  • the method may include the further step of, subsequent to germination and harvesting of the organic sheet material, utilizing the then nutrient medium resulting from the fermentation process as the starter nutrient medium for growing a second organic sheet material, this further step being characterised therein that it does not require addition of a starter culture of the organic bacterial fungus to the nutrient medium.
  • this further step being characterised therein that it does not require addition of a starter culture of the organic bacterial fungus to the nutrient medium.
  • the process of harvesting the organic sheet material and utilizing the then nutrient medium resulting from the fermentation process as the starter nutrient medium for growing another organic sheet material without the need for adding additional starter culture to the nutrient medium, may be repeated a number of times.
  • the material may be dried to form a dry sheet or pulverised to form a gel.

  • Example 1 A nutrient medium was prepared by adding 2 teaspoons of dried tealeaves to 1 litre of boiling water. The infusion was allowed to stand for approximately 15 minutes, after which the tealeaves were strained off. Subsequently, 70 - 100 grams of refined white sugar was added to the infusion while stirring the same to facilitate solution of the sugar. The liquid was allowed to cool down to between 20°C and 25°C, after which 10 o fungus colony was added to the same. If the temperature is too high the fungus colony will die.
  • the liquid was transferred to a container for the first stage fermentation process and left for 4 weeks. During the first stage fermentation process the liquid nutrient medium was maintained at 23°C - 27°C.
  • the liquid was removed to elongate plastic fermentation pipes (2) for the second stage fermentation process.
  • the pipes (2) were filled so that the surface area of the nutrient medium (4) was between 8mm and 10mm below the horizontal centreline (6) of the pipes (2), as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
  • the pipes (2) were arranged in conditions with good airflow, humidity and in semi-light conditions.
  • the second stage fermentation process was allowed to continue for 4 weeks.
  • the sheet material (8) had grown to a thickness of 8mm.
  • the nutrient medium (4) was drained off and the sheet material (8) was stored in an airtight container.
  • a starter nutrient medium was prepared by adding 4 teabags to 2 litres of boiled water. 160 grams refined white sugar was added to the infusion and stirred, after which the infusion was allowed to cool down for a period of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, thus allowing the infusion temperature to decrease to approximately 20°C to 25°C. The infusion was introduced into a first-stage fermentation container and a small fungus colony was added to the infusion. In addition, 2 tablespoons of distilled vinegar was added to the infusion to reduce pH of the same.
  • the liquid was maintained at approximately room temperature for about 4 days. After about 4 days, it was stirred and transferred to a second stage fermentation container, where it was maintained at 23°C to 28°C for a further period of about 11 days. After the 11 days, the nutrient medium was drained off and the sheet material harvested and stored.
  • Sheet material formed according Examples 1 and 2 was pulverised to form a gel, after which 1 part of the gel was mixed with 2 parts water. Five airplane tires were set alight. The mixture was sprayed onto the tires and the fires were extinguished in approximately 6 to 8 seconds. There was no subsequent smoke or re-ignition.
  • Example 4 A car seat was placed on an aircraft runway and two dolls were placed side-by-side on the seat. The one doll and the seat were pre-sprayed with a gel formed of the organic material produced according to Examples 1 and 2, while the other doll was not treated at all. Thereafter, the seat and both dolls were drenched in petrol and set alight. The fire was allowed to burn out. After the fire had burnt out, the seat and the doll, which had been treated, were in perfect condition (even the lace on the doll's dress was undamaged!), while the other doll was almost incinerated. It will be appreciated that many other embodiments of the invention may be possible without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
