Precision of Fungal Resistance Test Method for Cereal Husk-Reinforced Composite Construction Profiles Considering Mycelium Removal Techniques

mycolabadmin

Scientists tested how well building materials made from plant husks and plastic resist fungal growth. They found that the standard testing method has serious accuracy problems, with results varying by more than 20%. They also discovered that how you clean the samples after fungal exposure significantly affects the test results, suggesting the test method needs better instructions.
