Sod as a building material - Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)

Sod is the upper layer of soil held together by (usually grass) roots. It was used as a building material, in a similar way to soilbags.

Cool, but how to keep the moisture and black mold from forming inside the dwelling?

Impermeable layer, usually skookum pond liner style, on top. Drainage. Ventilation and heating. Lime wash. Light helps if it can be managed in the design.
