Abstract: Methods are disclosed for generating aerial mycelium, such as mycological material comprising solely mycelia from depleted substrate or depleted and rejuvenated substrate. Alternatively, methods are disclosed for generating mycelia and mushrooms from depleted substrate or depleted and rejuvenated substrate. Alternative methods are disclosed for generating differentiated mycelium materials using depleted substrate or depleted and rejuvenated substrate. The mycelia products that are generated can be used in the food industry (e.g., as a meat analog) and in other industries, such as textiles, packaging, and others. The present invention provides systems and methods for generating mycelia that are repeatable and energy efficient, while providing consistently high quality and quantity mycelium-based products.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to harvest biopolymer material, such as a mycological material comprising mycelia. The mycelia products that are harvested can be used in the food industry (for example, as an animal-based meat-substitute) and in other industries, such as textiles, packaging, and others. The present invention provides mycelial harvesting methods and systems that are repeatable and energy efficient, while providing high quality and quantity mycelium-based products.

Abstract: The method of growing a biopolymer material employs incubation of a growth media comprised of nutritive substrate and a fungus in containers that are placed in a closed incubation chamber with air flows passed over each container while the chamber is maintained with a predetermined environment of humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide and oxygen. The air flows may be directed parallel or perpendicularly to the surfaces of the growth media.

Abstract: The composite biomaterial employs a binding organism (a filamentous fungi that produce mycelium) based on the material physical properties required for the composite biomaterial and a modulating organism (bacteria, fungus or yeast) based on a desired effect of the modulating organism on the binding organism. The modulating organism is selected based on the desired effect on the binding organism.

Abstract: Several methods are described for generating mycelial scaffolds for use several technologies. In one embodiment, a mycelial scaffold is generated using a perfusion bioreactor system for cell-based meat technologies. In another embodiment, a mycelial scaffold is prepared for biomedical applications. The mycelial scaffolds may be generated from a liquid medium or from a solid substrate.

Abstract: The composite material is comprised of a substrate of discrete particles and a network of interconnected mycelia cells bonding the discrete particles together. The composite material is made by inoculating a substrate of discrete particles and a nutrient material with a preselected fungus. The fungus digests the nutrient material over a period of time sufficient to grow hyphae and to allow the hyphae to form a network of interconnected mycelia cells through and around the discrete particles thereby bonding the discrete particles together to form a self-supporting composite material.

Abstract: The process of making a biocomposite material utilize a bacterial species and a fungal species in an agricultural feedstock composed of a substrate of non-nutrient discrete particles and a nutrient material wherein the bacterial species imparts mechanical properties to the biocomposite material and the fungal species binds the biocomposite material. Both bacterium and fungus can be genetically engineered to produce desired properties within the microbial communities.

Abstract: The mat is formed of a saprophytic fungal strain and/or budding yeast, and a mass of particles wherein the fungus is characterized in producing an enzyme capable of breaking down polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In a second embodiment, a mass of pellets is made from the mat for use in absorbing liquid animal waste.

Abstract: The process provides a biofilm including and not limited to cellulose produced by bacteria that can be used as a bio-resin and as a surface application for myceliated and non-myceliated biomaterials.In one embodiment, the process comprises the steps of obtaining an agricultural substrate; and cohabitating a selected bacteria with a selected fungus in the agricultural substrate for a period of time to allow the bacteria to grow alongside the fungus and to excrete a biofilm from the bacteria into the substrate to provide bio-resin like strengthening compounds to the agricultural substrate.
