Mycelium-Based Biocomposites from Recycled Wood: Influence of Fungal Species on Properties of Biocomposites
Original language description
Mycelium-based bio-composites (MBB) are composite materials that are produced by the growth of fungal mycelia on the substrate from lignocellulosic (LC) materials such as straw, husks or wood particles. Adhesives are not used in this technology to produce composites, because the LC particles are bonded by mycelium. MBB can be used for packaging, decorative design objects or for furniture. In the presented research particles from recycled wood were used to produce not-pressed MBB. Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma lingzhi and Pleurotus ostreatus were selected to grow the MBB from recycled wood. Tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board (internal bonding) and moisture uptake of the produced variants of MBB as well as fungi growth rate were evaluated. It was observed that all used fungal species were able to fully colonise the substrate from recycled wood and that the contaminants present in the recycled wood did not negatively affect the ability of fungi to colonise the substrate. Produced MBB reached promising properties that offer the possibility of using the developed material for thermal insulation purposes.
