Mycelium, the robust root system of mushrooms, is emerging as a design material par excellence in the architectural and interior design landscape. This natural binder, grown into various substrates like wood chips, rice straw, cotton, and hemp fibers, replaces the need for petrol-based resins, making design practices more sustainable and eco-friendly. Mycelium showcases a suite of remarkable properties - it's fire and moisture-resistant, fully biodegradable, and exhibits thermal and acoustic insulation capabilities. Additionally, its structural strength paired with lightweight characteristics makes it a versatile choice for a multitude of design applications.
𝗔𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀: Mycelium's natural acoustic properties make it an excellent material for wall panels, especially in offices or home environments where noise reduction is crucial. These panels not only contribute to a serene ambiance but also add a touch of sustainable elegance to the spaces.
