If you actually read the article, the actual thing they’re using this for is insulation in chips, replacing the plastic coating that is traditionally used. They aren’t making electrical components out of Ganoderma mushrooms, but rather using a part of the skin on the mushroom to replace a discardable film. This won’t make the products that much less long lasting, but will have an impact. They are looking to use it in short term use products like medical devices and nfc sending devices.
