Manufactured Mycelium-Based Composite Panels Szimbio Lab, 2022
In this project, I investigated the possibilities of using high-cellulosic primary waste as a substrate and the surface treatment of the resulting composite experiments. I used textile and paper waste to grow small panels of varying thicknesses, which not only reinforce the circular approach and sustainability of the project, but also proved to be a suitable source of nutrients for the fungal filaments. The surface of the grown panels was laser engraved with repeated patterns. Due to the high chitin content of the mycelium structure, the composites have self-extinguishing properties, so they can be safely manufactured with laser engraving and used in various interior design applications.
