The environmental impact and resource demands of traditional leather manufacturing have driven the search for sustainable alternatives. Fungal mycelium leather, recognised its eco-friendly renewable characteristics, has emerged as a promising option. This study established cyclic freeze-thaw dehydration protocol preparing mycelial using Ganoderma produced through liquid fermentation. By precisely controlling fermentation parameters (pH 5.5, 150 rpm agitation, 28 °C), process ensures uniform growth, which is critical subsequent structural enhancement during cycles. After three cycles were performed at −15 °C, uniformly distributed ice crystals facilitated effective water removal, achieving minimum moisture content 47.6%. optimized membranes with tensile strength 6.22 MPa elongation break 18.92%, demonstrating high mechanical performance. was demonstrated to enhance integrity properties while offering reduced energy consumption compared conventional methods. research provides theoretical foundation technical guidance optimising fungal production contributes development bio-based materials industrial applications.
