Mycelium-bound composites (MBCs) represent a promising advancement in bio-based building materials, offering sustainable alternatives for engineering and construction applications. This review provides comprehensive overview of the current research landscape, production methodologies, standardization ideas related to MBCs. A basic search on Scopus revealed over 250 publications MBCs between 2020 2024, with more than 30% focusing materials science. Key studies have investigated physical mechanical properties MBCs, optimizing parameters such as substrate type, fungal species, incubation time, post-processing enhance material performance. Standardizing inspection MBC is crucial ensuring quality reliability. Various testing standards, including those from American Society Testing Materials (ASTM), International Organization Standardization (ISO), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), European Standards (EN), Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), Thai Institute (TIS), are utilized evaluate density, water absorption, compression strength, tensile insulation, other critical properties. highlights distinction lab-scale apply-scale emphasizing need evaluation protocols. Additionally, process involves steps like preparation, species selection, mycelium growth, necessitating implementation good manufacturing practices (GMPs) ensure consistency quality. The internal external structures significantly influence their performance, standardized methods using advanced techniques scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning, surface profilometry. By establishing robust protocols industry can reliability adoption contributing innovations science promoting environmental sustainability. underscores importance interdisciplinary collaboration, characterization tools, regulatory frameworks address challenges advance field

The growing environmental impacts of solid waste accumulation have resulted in an increased demand for biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastics. While several products begun gain popularity as or compostable plastics, these often still negatively impact terrestrial and aquatic environments, they frequently require precise conditions order fully decompose. Furthermore, standards measuring biodegradation rates are complex poorly representative real disposal sites, limiting their widespread use applicability. In this study, we present four simple tests assess the degradability materials without specialized equipment demonstrate them with a series 3D printable biotic composites composed pectin, chitosan, cellulose, abundant organic biopolymers known be degradable by common microorganisms. Five different compositions were degraded live soil, worm burial, high humidity, aqueous demonstrated rapid degradation up 100% mass loss after 21 days pectin-based material buried worm-laden oil. Degradability was further found tunable, decreasing rate chitosan content increased. Our results confirm that degrade more rapidly than plastics provide accessible methods can enable testing development sustainable alternatives, especially gather basic information typical discard conditions. We anticipate therein will impetus reducing from printing considering end life when designing products.
