Sumario: | This reprint presents groundbreaking discoveries, practical techniques, and rigorous analyzes related to the cultivation, preparation, and exploitation of mycelium composites. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including functional modifications of mycelium with inorganic particles, modifying and assessing the mechanical properties of mycelium composites, strategies for improving the flexural behavior of composites, beehives from fungal materials, bio-welding and reinforcement of composites, bioreactors for fungal production, co-production of composites by fungi and bacteria, growing large-scale mycelium structures, sound absorption by composites, and the geometrical parameterization of fungi. This informative compendium of techniques, methods, and insights on growing fungal material appeals to readers from all walks of life.
