The lignocellulose binding phenomena and interlaminar fracture toughness of living Ganoderma lucidum

Mycelium based composites (MBC) have revolutionised the field of material production, where a living fungus is employed to overgrow and bind lignocellulosic substrate materials together. Their bio-based nature, low embodied energy, and biodegradability, mark their great potential to reduce the increasing pressure conventional materials put on...
