In a resource-constrained world, raising awareness about the development of eco-friendly
alternative materials is critical for ensuring a more sustainable future. Mycelium-based …

The proposed research offers an integrated methodology fusing material-driven design
process with biotechnological tools, to explore the potential of myceliumbased composites …

Mycelium-based composites (MBC) are a promising class of relatively novel materials that
leverage mycelium colonisation of substrates. Being predicated on biological growth, rather …

In an increasing effort to address the environmental challenges caused by the currently
linear economic paradigm of “produce, use, and discard”, the construction industry has been …

Mycelium-bound composites are biodegradable, eco-friendly materials grown by fungi onto
solid ligno-cellulosic substrates. Mycelium is an interconnected network made of fungal cells …

Mycelium-bound composites are promising materials for sustainable packaging, insulation,
fashion, and architecture. However, moulding is the main fabrication process explored to …

Due to the adaptability, durability, and affordability of synthetic polymers, their usage has
been increasing in the global industry. These petroleum-based polymers remain intact in …

Bio-based materials have found their way to the design and fabrication in the architectural
context in recent years. Fungi-based materials, especially mycelium-based composites, are …
