Methods of generating mycelium materials with improved properties

This invention describes a way to make new materials from mycelium, which is the root structure of fungi. It involves growing mycelium and then soaking it in a liquid that contains proteins from a different type of organism, not another fungus. This process creates a composite material with enhanced characteristics.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in precision fermentation and synthetic biology have significantly improved the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of producing specific non-fungal proteins. This makes the key step of creating the protein solution for mycelium enhancement more feasible and scalable.
