Pure mycelium materials (PMMs) are novel sustainable that could for instance be used as a foam, cellular scaffold, or an alternative textile, leather, meat. Here, mechanical properties of the PMM fungus Schizophyllum commune were studied when exposed to different levels relative humidity (RH) and after submersion in water. Exposure increasing RH resulted more flexible PMM. For instance, exposure 95 % decreased Young's modulus from 467 3.7 MPa increased elongation at break 1 18.5 %. Similar found water, enabling reshaping mould. Notably, showed shape memory it was cycles drying 90° angled shape, wetting, 180°, The material reached mean percentage recovery completeness 49 %, 55 66 first, second third cycle, respectively. capacity store release potential energy not affected during these cycles. Together, living with hygromorphic is described first time, which may smart switches valves.
