RE: CONCRETE - COMPOSITION, CATEGORIES, AGGREGATE & BINDING AGENTS

@skoolielove That's a freaking hilarious comment! Lmao!

I hate to disappoint you but concrete is an inert material. Therefore it won't chemically react with water which means that rainfall events do not affect a structure's strength.

Thanks for your epic comment which definitely deserves a lot more than I could reward it with!

Cheers! ;)

Thanks friend!

Concrete being the inert material, and mushrooms being the organic/active material, since its dark inside the concrete, and rain would make the spores/tissue come alive. It could even be the insulating concrete you wrote about, mixed in with dried yet live mushroom tissue. The mushrooms would grow/expand in whatever concrete mix, breaking it and collapsing it at a certain point. Mushrooms love eating through gypsum and using it for energy.

For fiction, anything is possible.

That could make a great fiction story. I mean you do have some valid points, however fiction should definitely be the primary tag of your post unless you find another way to decrease the concrete's strength. :p
