Fiber-reinforced mycelium (FRM) composites offer an innovative and sustainable approach to construction materials for architectural structures. Mycelium, the root structure of fungi, can be combined with various natural fibers (NF) create a strong lightweight material environmental benefits. Incorporating NF like hemp, jute, or bamboo into matrix enhances mechanical properties. This combination results in composite that boasts enhanced strength, flexibility, durability. Natural FRM sustainability through utilization agricultural waste, reducing carbon footprint compared conventional materials. Additionally, yet nature resulting makes it versatile applications, while its inherent insulation properties contribute improved energy efficiency buildings. Developing adopting showcases promising step towards eco-friendly Ongoing research collaboration between scientists, engineers, industry will likely lead further improvements expanded applications. article provides comprehensive analysis current applications paper reviews potential impacts these context practices. Recently, applicability mycelium-based has extended beyond their original domains biology mycology architecture.

Unlike many biopolymers, α-1,3-glucan (α-1,3-GLU) is water-insoluble, making it a promising candidate for the production of moisture-resistant films with applications in biodegradable packaging, biomedicine, and cosmetics. This study aimed to characterize structural, physicochemical (water affinity, optical, mechanical), biodegradation properties film made from α-1,3-GLU extracted Laetiporus sulphureus. The was fabricated through alkaline dissolution, casting, drying, washing remove residual NaOH, re-plasticization glycerol solution. FTIR Raman spectroscopy confirmed polysaccharide nature film, predominant α-glycosidic linkages. exhibited semi-crystalline structure high opacity due surface roughness resulting polymer coagulation. Owing re-plasticization, showed moisture content (~47%), water solubility (81.95% after 24 h), weak mechanical (tensile strength = 1.28 MPa, elongation at break ≈ 10%). Its vapor permeability (53.69 g mm m−2 d−1 kPa−1) comparable other glycerol-plasticized reported literature. supported adhesion soil microorganisms target bacteria susceptible degradation by Trichoderma harzianum endo- exo-α-1,3-glucanases, indicating its biodegradability. limitations excessive hydration indicate need improvements composition methods producing films.

Abstract Faced with the environmental impact and non‐renewability of traditional petroleum‐based insulation materials like foamed polyethylene asbestos, this study explores sustainable, bio‐based alternatives improved thermal mechanical performance. Using Ganoderma applanatum , a mycelial growth skeleton an enhanced static air layer is constructed to optimize material's strength properties. The resulting mycelium‐based composites (MBC) achieve density 195–249 kg m −3 low conductivity 0.0370 W −1 ∙K maximum flexural 0.382 MPa, compressive 2.409 MPa. Additionally, material exhibits high water contact angle 138.6° absorption rate 44.05%–84.84%. Compared previous studies, demonstrate superior performance, striking balance between strength. These results highlight potential as eco‐friendly in packaging, construction, insulation, offering viable solution replace non‐renewable products.
