Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for producing grown materials and to the products made by the method. More particularly, this invention relates to methods for producing organic constructions. Still more particularly, this invention relates to methods for producing organic insulation, organic packaging, organic coolers, organic plant pots and the like.
- Fungi are some of the fastest growing organisms known. They exhibit excellent bioefficiency, of up to 80%, and are adept at converting raw inputs into a range of components and compositions. Fungi are composed primarily of a cell wall that is constantly being extended at the tips of the hyphae. Unlike the cell wall of a plant, which is composed primarily of cellulose, or the structural component of an animal cell, which relies on collagen, the structural oligosaccharides of the cell wall of fungi relay primarily on chitin. Chitin is strong, hard substance, also found in the exoskeletons of arthropods. Chitin is already used within multiple industries as a purified substance. These uses include: water purification, food additives for stabilization, binders in fabrics and adhesives, surgical thread, and medicinal applications.
- the invention provides a method for producing grown materials and, in particular, provides a method of using the growth of an organism to produce materials and composites.
- a fungi is cultured for the production of a material using the vegetative phase of the fungi.
- This method uses the growth of hyphae, collectively referred to as mycelia or mycelium, to create materials composed of the fungi cellular tissue.
- This method expressly includes the growth of hyphae to create composites, utilizing particles, fibers, meshes, rods, elements, and other bulking agents, as a internal component of the composite, where the hyphae and other cellular tissue and extra cellular compounds act as a bonding agent and structural component.
- the method of making a composite material comprises the steps of forming an inoculum including a preselected fungus; forming a mixture of a substrate of discrete particles and a nutrient material that is capable of being digested by the fungi; adding the inoculum to the mixture; and allowing the fungus to digest the nutrient material in the mixture over a period of time sufficient to grow hyphae and to allow the hyphae to form a network of interconnected mycelia cells through and around the discrete particles thereby bonding the discrete particles together to form a self- supporting composite material.
- the formed self-supporting composite material is heated to a temperature sufficient to kill the fungus or otherwise dried to remove any residual water to prevent the further growth of hyphae.
- the method may be carried out in a batchwise manner by placing the mixture and inoculum in a form so that the finished composite material takes on the shape of the form.
- the method may be performed in a continuous manner to form an endless length of composite material.
- the method employs a step for growing filamentous fungi from any of the divisions of phylum Fungi.
- the examples that are disclosed focus on composites created from basidiomycetes, e. g., the "mushroom fungi" and most ecto-mycorrhizal fungi. But the same processes will work with any fungi that utilizes filamentous body structure.
- both the lower fungi, saphrophytic oomycetes, the higher fungi, divided into zygomycetes and endo-mycorrhizal fungi as well as the ascomycetes and deutoeromycetes are all examples of fungi that posses a filamentous stage in their life- cycle. This filamentous stage is what allows the fungi to extend through its environment creating cellular tissue that can be used to add structural strength to a loose conglomeration of particles, fibers, or elements.
- the invention also provides materials and composite materials, whose final shape is influenced by the enclosure, or series of enclosures, that the growth occurs within and/or around.
- the invention provides a self-supporting composite material comprised of a substrate of discrete particles and a network of interconnected mycelia cells extending through and around the discrete particles and bonding the discrete particles together.
- the discrete particles may be of any type suited to the use for which the material is intended.
- the particles may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of vermiculite and perlite where the composite material is to be used as a fire-resistant wall.
- the particles may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of straw, hay, hemp, wool, cotton, rice hulls and recycled sawdust where composite material is to be used for insulation and strength is not a necessary criteria.
- the particles may also include synthetic insulating particles, such as, foam based products and polymers.
- the structural member is a panel comprised of the self-supporting composite material with a veneer material bonded to at least one exterior surface.
- the panel is of rectangular shape but may be of any other suitable shape.
- the veneer may be made of any suitable material for the intended use of the panel.
- the veneer may be made of paper, such as a heavy Kraft paper, or of oriented strand board, corrugated paper or cardboard where strength is desired.

- the method of making a self-supporting structural material is comprised of the following steps.
- substrate constituents i.e. inoculum in either a sexual or asexual state, a bulking particle or a variety of bulking particles, a nutrient source or a variety of nutrient sources, a fibrous material or a variety of fibrous materials and water. 1. combining the substrate constituents into a growth media or slurry by mixing the substrate materials together in volumetric ratios to obtain a solid media while the inoculum is applied during or following the mixing process.
- the media is placed in an enclosure with a volume that denotes the composite's final form including internal and external features.
- the enclosure may contain other geometries embedded in the slurry to obtain a desired form.
- the living composite i.e. the particles bonded by the mycelia, is extracted from the enclosure and the organism is killed and the composite dehydrated.
- the composite is post-processed to obtain the desired geometry and surface finish and laminated or coated.
- the inoculum is produced using any one of the many methods known for the cultivation and production of fungi including, but not limited to, liquid suspended fragmented mycelia, liquid suspended spores and mycelia growing on solid or liquid nutrient.
- Inoculum is combined with the engineered substrate, which may be comprised of nutritional and non-nutritional particles, fibers, or other elements. This mixture of inoculum and substrate is then placed in an enclosure.
- step 3 hyphae are grown through the substrate, with the net shape of the substrate bounded by the physical dimensions of the enclosure.
- This enclosure can take on any range of shapes including rectangles, boxes, spheres, and any other combinations of surfaces that produce a volume. Growth can occur both inside the enclosure and outside of the enclosure depending on desired end shape. Similarly, multiple enclosures can be combined and nested to produce voids in the final substrate.
- the hyphae digest the nutrients and form a network of interconnected mycelia cells growing through and around the nutrients and through and around the non-nutrient particles, fibers, or elements. This growth provides structure to the once loose particles, fibers, elements, and nutrients, effectively bonding them in place while bonding the hyphae to each other as well.
- step 4 the substrate, now held tightly together by the mycelia network, is separated from the enclosure, and any internal enclosures or elements are separated away, as desired.
- the above method may be performed with a filamentous fungus selected from the group consisting of ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, deuteromycetes, oomycetes, and zygomycetes.
- the method is preferably performed with fungi selected from the class: Holobasidiomycete.
- the method is more preferably performed with a fungus selected from the group consisting of:
- the method allows for the production of materials that may, in various embodiments, be characterized as structural, acoustical, insulating, shock absorbing, fire protecting, biodegrading, flexible, rigid, water absorbing, and water resisting and which may have other properties in varying degrees based on the selection of fungi and the nutrients.
- materials may, in various embodiments, be characterized as structural, acoustical, insulating, shock absorbing, fire protecting, biodegrading, flexible, rigid, water absorbing, and water resisting and which may have other properties in varying degrees based on the selection of fungi and the nutrients.
- the present invention uses the vegetative growth cycle of filamentous fungi for the production of materials comprised entirely, or partially of the cellular body of said fungi collectively known as mycelia.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the life cycle of Pleareotus Ostreatus, filamentous fungi.

- Procedures for culturing filamentous fungi for material production All methods disclosed for the production of grown materials require an inoculation stage wherein an inoculum is used to transport a organism into a engineered substrate.
- the inoculum, carrying a desired fungi strain is produced in sufficient quantities to inoculate the volume of the engineered substrates; inoculation volume may range from as low as 1% of the substrates total volume to as high as 80% of the substrates volume.
- Inoculum may take the form of a liquid carrier, solid carrier, or any other known method for transporting a organism from one growth supporting environment to another.
- the inoculum is comprised of water, carbohydrates, sugars, vitamins, other nutrients and the fungi.
- initial tissue amounts, humidity, inoculum constituent concentrations, and growth periods culturing methodology could vary widely.
- EXAMPLE 1 Production of a grown material using an enclosure.
- Plearotus Ostreatus, or any other filamentous fungi is cultured from an existing tissue line to produce a suitable mass of inoculum.
- the inoculum may take the form of a solid carrier, liquid carrier, or any other variation there of.
- the method may use the following steps:
- the method may use the following steps:
- the bonding of the grown material is derived primarily from the fungi cellular body, mycelia, that forms throughout and around the engineered substrate.
- the overall properties of the material are set by the behavior of multiple particles, fibers, and other elements, acting in concert to impart material characteristics, much like in the creation of other composites.
- the enclosure or enclosures sets the final shape that of the material.
- Pleurotus ostreatus proceeds from zygote formation (1) to ascus (2) with multiplicity of ascopores (3) and then to hypha formation (4) with the hyphae being collectively called mycelium (5).

- EXAMPLE 7 - Growth Enclosure -Fig. 9 Referring to Fig. 9, a square growth enclosure is provided with a lid to produce composite panels with an equivalent net shape. The panels are produced using a process similar to that outlined in example 1 and 2.
- the shape of the enclosure used for composite production determines the eventual shape of the final product.
- the orthogonally oriented sides, left 13 and front 14, form a corner with bottom 15, this corner feature, as other enclosure induced net shapes, will be replicated in the grown composite.
- the enclosure provides a number of other unique functions. These include: gas exchange regulation, humidity regulation, humidity sensing, temperature sensing, and heat removal.
- Fig. 9 shows a filter disk 16 that is sized and calibrated to the shape and volume of the growth enclosure.
- This filter disk 16 allows the growing organism to respirate, releasing CO2 and up taking 02, without the exchange of other particles in the room.
- This disk 16 also allows some moisture to travel from substrate to the incubation environment, and vice versa.
- a filter disk system would be passive, designed to allow the correct respiration rate for the specific substrate, fungi type, and volume of material, growing within the enclosure.
- a filter disk could have an aperture that is dynamically altered to slow or increase the rate of gaseous exchange with the incubation environment.
- Fig. 9 also shows a temperature control mechanism 17, comprised of a network of tubing 20, that can be used to remove or add heat to the enclosure.
- the growth of fungi relies on a decomposition reaction. Hence, in most cases where additional heat control is required beyond that provided by the convective interactions occurring along the exterior enclosures surface, it will be in the form of heat removal.
- a network of tubes or other heat exchange mechanism allows both more precise control over the amount of heat removed or added to the enclosure and allows an overall greater amount of heat to be removed or added to the growth enclosure in a shorter period of time.
- Fig. 9 also shows a temperature sensor 18 and humidity sensor 19. These sensors measure the internal temperature and humidity of the enclosure, respectively. This data can then be transmitted to a collection unit for analysis, or be used to alter the environment of the enclosure through the dynamic re-sizing of a filter disk aperture or through changes in temperature made possible through the temperature control mechanism.
- Fig. 10 shows a growth enclosure lid with a protrusion 21.
- the protrusion 21 will effect the overall net shape of the enclosed volume producing features in the grown composite that relate directly to those in the lid, such as protrusion 21.
- Such a process was used to produce the composite shown in Fig. 8 where the lid, shown in Fig. 10 has a protrusion 20, that modifies the enclosed net volume of its growth enclosure producing a unique feature 12 within composite 10 (see Fig. 8).
- Figs. 11 through 13 illustrate just such a case.
- the growth enclosure 5 and growing mycelium 4 are bounded only by the bottom and sides of the growth enclosure.
- a stiff sheet 11 comprised of OSB (oriented strand board) or other suitable veneer is added to the enclosure 5, fully defining the volume of the growth enclosure.
- the enclosure cover was selected from a group comprising wood, and other cellulosic structures.
- the fungi, Plearot ⁇ s ostreatus, a cellulosic decomposer being grown through the enclosure, was able to naturally bond itself to the top portion of the panel by growing along and into the surface of the material.
- Fig. 12 illustrates the growth of mycelia 4 into the stiff sheet 11. When this composite is removed from the enclosure, the stiff sheet 11 will be included in the final product.
- Fig. 13 illustrates an alternative embodiment of this same concept wherein the stiff sheet 11 is enclosed between two opposing layers of mycelia bonded core.
- Growth enclosures comprised entirely or in part of stiff or flexible sheets 11 may be permanently attached to part, or all, of the finished product through the growth of mycelium. This includes bags that hold a form, bags that are flexible and can be formed into shapes within an enclosure, and other means for containing a slurry.
- FIG. 1 Another example where such a process might occur uses a flexible paper bag as the growth enclosure.
- This bag is filled with engineered substrate and the mycelium is grown through the substrate as described in Example 1. Bonding of the substrate to the bag occurs through the growth of the mycelium and, when dried, a product comprising a bonded engineered substrate and exterior paper skin is produced
- protrusions may be only a fraction of a millimeter tall (in the case of roughening) or may be up to 20 cm tall, extending into the engineered substrate.
- Protrusions may take the form of: hooks, circular poles, cones, rectangular columns, capped columns or poles, triangles, or other feature shapes that allow mycelia to favorably interact with the surface to produce a bonding force
- Mycelia based composites may be grown without the explicit use of a loose fill particle substrate. In fact, by creating a highly organized growth substrate, formations of mycelia composites can be created that might not normally arise when growth is allowed to propagate naturally through loose particles.
- One way of adding an engineered structure to mycelium composites is to produce a digestible or non-digestible 3-d framework within which the mycelium grows.
- This framework may be formed from the group including: starch, plastic, wood, or fibers.
- This framework may be oriented orthogonally or oriented in other ways to produce mycelia growth primarily along the axis's of the grid. Additionally, this grid may be flexible or rigid. Spacing between grid members can range from 0.1 mm to upwards of 10 cm. Growth along these engineered grids or lattices results in mycelium composites with highly organized hyphae strands allowing the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.
- Such an arrangement also allows the development of organized mycelium structures composed primarily of hyphae rather than of bulking and nutritional particles.
- a three-dimensional lattice formed of sets of 1mm x 1mm plastic grids 14 oriented orthogonally, is coated in a mixture of starch and water.
- This mixture is composed of 50% starch, and 50% tap water by volume. These materials were sourced as organic brown rice flour, and tap water, from the Troy NY municipal water supply, respectively.
- This lattice is placed on in a bed of inoculum containing Plearotus ostreat ⁇ s on a suitable nutrient carrier.
- the lattice and inoculum bed are then placed in an environment held at the correct temperature, between 55-95 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity, between 75% RH and 100% RH, to stimulate mycelia growth.
- Fig. 14 shows a cutaway of a grid based mycelium composite. Only two intersecting grids are shown, but the composite would actually be composed of a series of grids extending axially spaced 1 mm apart. Grid squares have an edge length of 1 mm. Here, mycelium 8 is shown growing through the grids 14. This thickly formed mycelia mat forms the bulk of the volume of the composite.
- the mycelium is grown over and through the grid producing a dense network of oriented hyphae. Over time, the hyphae will interweave producing a dense 3-D mat. After 1 to 2 weeks of growth, the grid is removed from the incubator and dried, using either a convection oven, or other means to remove the water from the mycelium mass. Once dried the mycelia composite can be directly used, or post processed for other applications.
- the grid may or not provide the mycelia a nutrient source, but if nutrients are not provided within the grid framework, the grid must be placed in close proximity to an inoculum containing a nutrient source as to allow the fungi to transport nutrients into the grid based mycelium for further cellular expansion.
- a mycelium composite can be grown that resembles a conventional plant pot.
- This composite could have a composition and production processes similar to that described in Example 4, or could have differing nutrient and bulking particles, as well as differing fibers. The key features of such a composite would be
- a shape comprised of particles and fibers bounded by mycelium such that the roots of a plant could easily grow through the shape.
- a shape comprised of particles and fibers bounded by mycelium such that the roots of a plant could easily grow through said shape.
- an acoustical dampening panel could be produced for use within the home, automobile, or other situation where sound attenuation is desired.
- This product would use a variety of bonded fibers and particles to produce panels with varying sound attenuation rates for a set range of frequencies.
- a firewall panel could be produced for use within the home, automobile, or other situation where fire protection is desired.
- the bonded particles would be composed primarily of Perlite, Rice Hulls, or Vermiculite.
- Plearotus Ostreatus, or any other filamentous fungi is cultured from an existing tissue line to produce a suitable mass of inoculum.
- the inoculum may take the form of a solid carrier, liquid carrier, or any other variation there of.
- a distinctly unique packaging material can be created that makes use of the mycelium bonders ability to form a continuous material.
- a packaging material can be created that exactly fits every surface of the packaged object. This packaging material is continuous around the packaged object, and because of its tight fit will better protect a packed object than the current state of the art that uses "near net shape" packing buffers to hold objects in place.
- FIG. 15 Such a product is detailed in Fig. 15 wherein a continuous packaging material was formed around an object 23 to form a package.
- the packaging material is characterized in being rupturable into discrete sections along a break surface 25, as shown in Fig. 15, to allow removal of the sections from the object 23.
- a ribbon 24 can be wrapped about the object 23 to extend through the packaging material to an external surface of the packaging material for rupturing the packaging material into discrete sections for removal from the object 23.
- the end user Upon receipt of the packing egg, the end user opens the packaging egg either by breaking the material along one of its axis, or pulling on an included ribbon 24, as shown, or a string or tab. Once opened, the user can then remove the protected object 23.
- a packaging egg can be made using the same substrate and processes described in example 4 and examples 1 and 2 respectively. Substrate particle and fiber choice will be governed by the overall material characteristics of the egg. A denser packaging material will necessitate denser bulking particles, while a lighter more compressible egg would rely on lighter particles, such a rice hulls.
- the product to be packaged may be placed in the enclosure before the addition of the substrate, during the addition of the substrate, or after addition of the substrate.
- a packaging egg is composed of a fully internal or partially internal element surrounded by a continuous skin or material wall.
- This wall is preferably composed of a particles, fibers, and other elements bound by mycelium that has been grown through the elements.
- the packaging egg has a number of unique advantages.
- the material is biodegradable, so the user can dispose of the material into their garden, or other natural space, after use, reducing landfill load.
- the continuous nature of the grown packaging material provides both better protection during shipment and acts as a tamper proof seal preventing unauthorized access to the packaged element.
- the packaging egg can be produced with minimal tooling costs as the formable substrate will assume the net shape of both enclosure and packaged element.
- Fig. 16 shows a composite panel, produced in accordance with the production processes described in Examples 1 , 2, & 3, with a static embodiment and composition similar to that described in Example 4.
- the panel that also includes a number of wall elements, such as a conduit 26, an electrical outlet 27 and wires 28, that are embedded in the composite material of the panel and have an end in communication with an exterior surface of the composite material.
- wall elements such as a conduit 26, an electrical outlet 27 and wires 28, that are embedded in the composite material of the panel and have an end in communication with an exterior surface of the composite material.
- These elements are included within the panel during the growth processes in such a manner that they become part of the final monolithic composition. These elements may be selected from the groups comprising: generic conduit, electrical wiring, electrical outlets, light switches, sensors, temperature controls, window frames, door jams, heating conduit, or piping.
- such elements may be positioned within the panel such that when panels are placed edge to edge the internal elements interface along the mating edge.
- Such a panel could be produced and sold as is, without additional processing, or could be combined with the stiff exterior faces, as described in Example 5, to produce a full section for use in assembling a home.
- Such a wall section could have all relevant elements included during growth such that final assembly would constitute only connecting matching panels and internal elements together.
- EXAMPLE 16 - Fruiting body manufacturing Fig. 17 and Fig. 18 All embodiments described previously have used the mycelium, or "root structure", of a growing fungi to bond particles, fibers, and objects, into composite bodies. Alternatively, the fruiting portion of a Fungi can be molded during its growth for use as binding material.
- Fig. 17 details such a process.
- a lighting element 29 is used to induce fruiting within a species that shows a light sensitive response.
- Other known methods of inducing fruiting are also valid including varying atmospheric conditions, time, temperature, or humidity.
- one or more fruiting bodies 31 begin to grow out of a substrate 32 as described above. These fruiting bodies will rapidly expand in size over the next few days.
- the final shape of the fruiting body can be controlled. This allows the production of 'net shape' composites composed entirely of fungi hyphae. These composites can be molded into any shape within the realm of fruiting body size including: bricks, cylinders, spheres, and any other combination of surfaces that produces a volume.
- fruiting bodies may be grown around elements or objects, either to add additional material characteristics, such as tensile strength, to the final composite, or as a method for enclosing an element for shipping.
- Fig. 17 details such an arrangement where a cylindrical element 30 is positioned within the enclosure 33 and above the fruiting bodies 31.
- Fig. 18 details the same arrangement of Fig. 17 after 4 days of growth.
- Now fruiting bodies 31 have expanded in size taking on the overall net shape of the enclosure 33. They have also been forced to grow up and around the cylindrical element 30 partially enveloping the cylindrical element 30 with hyphae comprised tissue.
- the fruiting bodies 31 will have fully filled the enclosure 33 while also surrounding cylindrical element 30.
- the mass of hyphae, now in the net shape of the enclosure 33, and containing the cylindrical element 30, can be removed from the enclosure and dried.
- This product is now suitable for application as a building material, in block form, or as a packaging material where the cylindrical element 30 is the desired element to be protected during shipping.
- the final product can be considered somewhat analogous to the Packaging Egg described in Example 14 having many of the same advantages including:
- the material is biodegradable, so the user can dispose of the material into their garden, or other natural space, after use, reducing landfill load.
- the continuous nature of the grown packaging material provides both better protection during shipment, and also acts a tamper proof seal, preventing unauthorized access to the packaged element.
- the product can be produced with minimal tooling costs as the formable fruiting body will assume the net shape of both enclosure and packaged element.
- a substrate 32 suitable v to support fungi growth of the preferred species is created.
- Differing fungi species create an immense range of fruiting bodies, some as hard as wood with significant rot resistance, and some quite weak biodegrading rapidly after moisture exposure. Within the range of fruiting bodies, each growth has different application areas from building materials to packaging materials.
- the substrate 32 is comprised of sterilized rye grain sourced from Troy Grain Traders in Troy NY.
- the grain is saturated with water and then sterilized by autoclaving at 15 psi for 45 minutes. After cooling, the grain is inoculated with Plearotus ostreatus. This fungi is allowed to colonize the grain in a grain jar held between 55-85 degrees Fahrenheit for 1-3 weeks, or until the grain is fully colonized.
- the inoculated substrate 32 is then transferred to a suitable fruiting enclosure, as described in Figs. 17 and 18.
- Fruiting of Plearotus ostreatus is accomplished by lowering the CO 2 concentration in the ambient atmosphere, lowering the temperature slightly, and exposing the substrate to a light. These steps help to initiate pinning, a pre-fruiting process.
- a suitable enclosure in this case a rectangular box 3 inches tall and 2 inches on either side, is placed over the pinning substrate.
- the fungi's fruiting bodies, oyster mushrooms in this case, are then grown into the enclosure taking on the net shape of the box. During this time, the substrate 32 and enclosure 33 are held at 75 degrees Fahrenheit and RH% 90-100.
- the entire element, comprised of fruiting body and enclosure, are separated from the substrate 32.
- This fruiting body that has now assumed the net shape of the enclosure, is removed and dried and can now be used a building material, or other product, or can be further post processed for other products including being cut into sheets or formed.
- the substrate 32 can be fruited multiple times in multiple locations to produce a number of formed fruiting bodies.
- Organic materials can be implemented in the mycelium insulation growth process as insulating particles and the complex carbohydrate.
- insulating particles such as vermiculite or perlite are bound within the mycelium cellular matrix, but other natural materials have identical if not superior insulating characteristics, such as:
- Straw/Hay/Hemp material is either woven into a mesh or laid within the slurry mixture, as the mycelium grows the material is bound forming an insulation panel with variable layer thickness.
- Wool/Cotton the material is woven into a fibrous mesh or fragmented forming small insulating particles that a bound within the mycelium as it grows.
- the slurry can be applied directly to the mesh or the particles can be mixed in during the slurry production.
- the particle material can be grown or obtained from reused clothing that contains a large percentage of wool/cotton.
- Recycled sawdust can replace the current polysaccharide, which is a form of starch or grain, as the mycelium food source during the early growth stages.
- Sawdust can be collected from businesses that create the dust as a byproduct or from natural collections methods.
- the insulating particles can consist of new, recycled, or reused synthetic particles, which are already known to have insulating properties or leave a detrimental environmental footprint.
- Materials currently considered include: Foam Based Products: recycled and reused foam insulators or foam garbage, such as Styrofoam cup and packaging, which are broken into small particles of varying or congruent sizes and applied to the slurry.
- the foam material can be obtained from existing disposed of material or newly fabricated products.
- Rubber/Polymers these materials can be found in a myriad of products, which can be reused after the desired life-cycle of the aforementioned product is reached.
- the material can be applied into the slurry as a ground particle or implemented as a structural member within the growth in various configurations.
- the invention thus provides a new method of producing grown materials.
- These materials may be flexible, rigid, structural, biodegradable, insulating, shock absorbent, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, non-flammable, an air barrier, breathable, acoustically absorbent and the like. All of the embodiments of this invention can have their material characteristics modified by varying the organism strain, nutrient source, and other particles, fibers, elements, or other items, included in the growth process.
- the invention provides a composite material that can be used for various purposes, such as, for construction panels, wall boards, and the like where fire-resistant characteristics are required. Also, the invention provides a composite material that is biodegradable.
- the preferred method described above for killing the growing organism, i.e. a fungi, in order to stop further growth is by heating to above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, there are a number of other ways that this same task can be accomplished. These include (a) dehydrating -by placing the mycelium bonded substrate in a low humidity environment; (b) irradiating -by using a technique similar to that found in food preservation; (c) freezing -wherein the mycelium bonded substrate has its temperature lowered to below 32 degrees Fahrenheit; and (d) chemically -wherein the mycelium bonded substrate is exposed to a chemical known to cause cellular death in fungi including, but not limited to, bleach solutions, high concentrations of petrochemicals, and high concentrations of acids.
