Given the right substrate, such as wood chips, mycelium fibers will digest and bind the material together to form a dense and spongy mass; to the naked eye, it looks like a slimy white rubber.

Organic residues from regional agricultural and forestry activities are used as the substrate for the fungal cultures. In ...

The lumpy blocks are spent substrate, the living material left over after growing mushrooms. Composed of sawdust and soy pellets woven through with mycelium—the thread-like aspect of the fungus from ...

Manipulating the conditions of growth, including through the use of heat and sunlight, or altering the substrate, affects mycelium development. Photograph by Calvin Chang As mycelium technology is ...

When mycelium grows on waste, the structure grows out and down. The hemp hurd substrate and mycelium are mixed in molds to form large sheets. Harvesting mycelium (Credit: Ecovative) In addition to ...

You’ll get to grow your own mycelium art piece to take home – starting from a grow bag and mycelium substrate to sculpting mycelium with a mold.

Growing on the surface of rotten wood, the ganoderma mycelium forms a tough crust to ... experiment to build a metal circuit on a substrate actually made from mycelia, and confirmed that it ...

For their new project, the PLP Labs team first 3D-printed a wood formwork and packed it with a substrate injected with mycelium. As the mycelium colonized the substrate, it created a dense but ...

If all living organisms on Earth evolved from a single cell 3.5 billion years ago, it stands to reason that they’re a lot alike. And, scientists have noted that fungi are characteristically ...
