Insulation for buildings

Mycelium can be used to create insulation for buildings. This type of insulation is made from mycelium mixed with a binder and other materials, and it is both fire-resistant and energy-efficient.

Leather-like materials

Mycelium can be used to create leather-like materials. These materials are created by growing mycelium on a substrate and then tanning it to create a leather-like texture and appearance.

Art

Mycelium can be used to create art. Some artists have used mycelium to create sculptures or other works of art, taking advantage of its unique texture and color.

A pavilion called the Growing Pavilion, which was created for Dutch Design Week, is constructed using mycelium panels. The panels are grown from mushrooms and are set on a timber frame. They are then covered with an organic sealant that was originally developed by the Inca people.

Meat replacements

Mycelium is referred to by Ecovative as a “super ingredient” due to its high fiber and protein content, which is similar to that of a slice of bacon. It can be grown at a competitive price of $1 per pound. According to Ecovative, the greatest potential of mycelium lies in its ability to mimic whole cuts of meat. This is in contrast to most other plant-based meats, which are typically offered in minced patty or sausage form.
