introduction
|
||||
|
||||
- emphasize low-tech diy appeal and accessibility
|
||||
- easier than mushroom cultivation
|
||||
|
||||
what are mycomaterials?
|
||||
|
||||
- properties
|
||||
- cheaply produced on agricultural waste
|
||||
- home compostable
|
||||
- naturally fire resistant
|
||||
- thermal degradation of mycelium films occurred at approximately 300 degrees Celcius
|
||||
- buoyant
|
||||
- light-weight
|
||||
- water resistant
|
||||
- mycelium is hydrophobic due to proteins in the outermost layer of the cell wall
|
||||
- rapid growth (7-14 days)
|
||||
|
||||
working with mycelium (how-to)

<h2>Mycological Glossary</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>culture</b> - Mycelium of a particular strain and species, often grown in a petri dish or test tube for easy storage and replication.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>liquid culture</b> - Mycelium grown in a nutrified solution such as 4% honey water, often in a glass jar or similar lidded vessel; simplifies cultivation in non-sterile conditions.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>mushroom</b> - The fruiting body of a fungal network; a specialised structure grown to replicate and distribute the genetic information of the mycelium via spores.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>mycelium</b> - The body of a fungus, made up of branching and interconnected threads of single cells (hyphae); often appears as a white, fluffy mass resembling tiny roots.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>mycomaterial</b> - A substance or object grown out of mycelium, often using hemp hurd or similar woody substance as a base material. Mycomaterials hold great potential as replacements for plastic, styrofoam, leather etc.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>spore</b> - A tiny reproductive bundle carrying the genetic information of the parent organism; germinates to restart the life-cycle of the fungus.</li>

<h2>Guide to Mycomaterials: Properties, Fabrication & Industry</h2>
|
||||
<i>16 September, 2020</i>
|
||||
<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
||||
<p>Before the advent of plastic and the rapid expansion of global mining activites, our habitats, clothes, tools and other technologies were constructed from the organic and inorganic elements around us. Mud, stone, bone, wood, bamboo, grass and a plethora of other biotic and abiotic materials formed our material culture and mediated our interactions with the world. Some of these materials, such as stone, are highly durable - able to withstand centuries of use with only minor
|
||||
deterioration. Others, such as grasses and wood, are typefied by their ephemerality - offering utility over short spans of timespace before decaying beyond repair. The decomposition of these materials, whether unfolding over geological time-scales or the course of a few days, unlocks key nutrients which are then cycled through planetary systems and which ultimately support the proliferation and diversification of life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Contrast the material culture of our ancestors with that of today, where so much of the humyn world is composed of plastics and other synthetic materials which are costly to produce, often manufactured far away from the point of use, and which are toxic to us and the lifeforms around us. These materials do not decay gracefully, nor do they nourish biological processes through their decomposition. Materials which require intensive mining operations are perhaps equally problematic, especially in light of large-scale habitat destruction and exploitation of labour and lands. Fortunately, the emergent field of mycomaterials offers a compelling alternative to toxic and energy-intensive materials such as plastics, styrofoam and other synthetic materials.
|
||||
<h3>Properties of Mycomaterials</h3>
|
||||
<p>Simply put, mycomaterials are objects which are either completely or partially comprised of fungal mycelium. Shigeru Yamanaka and Reiko Kikuchi, widely regarded as the originators of mycomaterials, offer this definition in a patent filing from 1990:</p>
|
||||
<blockquote cite="https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/eb/f7/2d/49306791c9c256/US5074959.pdf">
|
||||
<p>a novel complex of fibrous materials and fungi obtained by allowing fungi to grow in a medium containing fibrous materials thereby bonding the fungi to the fibrous materials</p>
|
||||

||||

|
||||
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
|
||||
<p>There you have it, with 5 - 7 photos you can capture a great deal of data about a given species. Whether you're asking someone for help with identification or working through the process yourself, having these morphological and ecological data to draw on will enrich your learning experience and enhance your chances of making a successful identification. You may even notice things in the photos which you missed while in the field, for example, a beetle crawling amongst the gills (what ecological relationship might it have with the fungus?). I hope you've found this guide helpful and that it facilitates many fun identification forays in your near-future!</p>
