    For the people surprised that gelatine is made of animals, you can look into Agar powder.

    It’s made of algae, and works the same way as gelatine. In my opinion it’s better because you can reliquify it if you need to. It’s a bit harder to activate though as you’ll need to bring it up to a boil instead of just mixing it into luke warm water. It stiffens up nicely and very clear though and faster that gelatine even at room temperature

      Works great in a petri dish for fun mycology experiments you can perform at home!
