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.

Study on the Properties and Design Applications of Polyester–Cotton Matrix Mycelium Composite Materials

Researchers developed eco-friendly composite materials by growing oyster mushroom mycelium on waste polyester-cotton textile fibers. The optimal blend was 65% polyester and 35% cotton, which balanced strength, water resistance, and ability to break down in soil. These materials could replace foam plastics in packaging and home products while helping solve the problem of textile waste.
