The spore drive...

 ...is ridiculous, but what about a flak jacket made of mushrooms?

It turns out that certain fungi produce material that is as good as plastic. Specifically, the Hoof mushroom, so called because it looks like a horse's hoof.

Possible applications include implants, sports equipment, electronics, surface coatings for windshields and, yes, body armor.

Made out of shrooms.

Biomimicry is an awesome thing.
