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)
- inoculum
- species (ganoderma / pleurotus)
- source
- substrate
- type (sawdust / hemp hurd / coir)
- treatment (sterilization / pasteurization)
- moisture content
- design
- object shape / properties
- mould / tool
- colour / texture
- finishing
- dry (2hrs at 60 degrees C)
- wax finish or dye (beesmax, natural dyes)
- g. lucidum very difficult to cut & shape whendry, even using saws & files
- environment
- temperature / humidity / CO2 / light
- card with technical details (bonus "bread crumbs")
industry
- who are the major players and what are they focused on?
conclusion

- websites
- companies
- papers
