Mycelium bricks were tested in 2014 with the construction of the Hi-fi tower, built at the Museum of Modern Art of New York by Arup and Living architecture. [21] Monolithic structures such as El Monolito Micelio [ 69 ] or the BioKnit pavilion, [ 70 ] were developed instead to grow mycelium either on-site or in a growing chamber in a single piece.
Mycelium based composites have not yet been widely adapted as construction replacements for bricks, synthetic foams, or wood. However, their potential for use has been studied in laboratories, and the results from experiments comparing bio-composites and current materials show that bio-composites do have some advantages over traditional materials.
Some of the fungal species that are used to make composites are G. lucidum, Ganoderma sp. P. ostretus, Pleurotus sp., T. versicolor, Trametes sp., etc. [40] A dense network is formed when the mycelium of the microbe of fungi degrades and colonises the organic substance. Plant waste is a common organic substrate that is used in mycelium-based ...
Fentanyl has made headlines for driving overdose deaths, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning of the rise of an even deadlier drug. An addiction specialist weighs in.
A home invasion in an upscale Philadelphia suburb turned fatal over the weekend after a suspect broke into a home in Lower Merion Township at 2:20 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8, the Montgomery County ...
After much deliberation, the College Football Playoff committee chose SMU over Alabama for the final spot in the 12-team field. See the full schedule.
Mycelium, or actively growing mushroom culture, is placed on a substrate—usually sterilized grains such as rye or millet—and induced to grow into those grains. This is called inoculation. Inoculated grains (or plugs) are referred to as spawn. Spores are another inoculation option, but are less developed than established mycelium.
The pearl oyster mushroom is also used to create mycelium bricks, mycelium furniture, and leather-like products. [citation needed] Oyster mushrooms can also be used industrially for mycoremediation purposes. Oyster mushrooms were used to treat soil that had been polluted with diesel oil.
