Fabrication and Characterization of Novel Mycelium Based Composite Materials

Abstract

This investigations focuses on characterizing innovative mycelium based composite material The goal is to create sustainable and biodegradable packaging materials that combat waste accumulation By comparing Pleurotus eryngii and Ganoderma lucidum the study determines their suitability through controlled growth and processing methods This research explores mycelium’s potential across diverse substrates, with Ganoderma lucidum demonstrating robust growth and favorable mycelium development Challenges in the process suggested compression and dimension use
