Abstract

Compressive resistance of the mycelium composite. Mycelium composites are a type of novel, economical and environmentally sustainable materials. The advantage of this material is that it forms a compact unit without the use of any adhesives. In this study mycelium boards were prepared from middle wood chipped particles for the manufacturing of commercial particle boards by using the growth activity of fungus Trametes versicolor. The compressive resistance of the mycelium composite was low but acceptable and comparable with other materials.
