Comparative Evaluation of Mechanical and Physical Properties of Mycelium Composite Boards Made from Lentinus sajor-caju with Various Ratios of Corn Husk and Sawdust

Researchers developed biodegradable composite boards using mushroom mycelium (Lentinus sajor-caju) grown on agricultural waste like corn husks and sawdust. By adjusting the ratio of these materials and board thickness, they created boards with properties comparable to commercial softboards and acoustic panels. These eco-friendly boards could replace synthetic materials in construction and furniture, reducing waste and pollution while maintaining good mechanical strength and sound absorption properties.

The Effects of the Substrate Length and Cultivation Time on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Mycelium-Based Cushioning Materials from Salix psammophila and Peanut Straw

Researchers developed eco-friendly cushioning materials by growing mushroom mycelium (fungal networks) on agricultural waste like willow and peanut straw. These materials match the performance of plastic foam used in packaging but are completely biodegradable and made from renewable resources. By adjusting how long the mushrooms grow and the size of the substrate pieces, scientists can control the final product’s strength, flexibility, and water resistance.
