Mycelium-bound composites are biodegradable, eco-friendly materials grown by fungi onto solid lignocellulosic substrates. Mycelium is an interconnected network made of fungal cells that bind the substrates’ particulates together. Uncompressed mycelium-bound composites have typically weak mechanica...
