Our aim is to explore natural solutions that could replace conventional materials while being equally efficient, more ecologically responsible and cost competitive. In our latest research we have been focusing on the insulation properties of fungal mycelium and developing different kinds of prototypes to be tested and compared. The major role of fungi in nature is to act as a decomposer. They grow on dead organic matter, disassembling and...
