摘要: 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.

摘要: A mycological biopolymer material is subjected to treatment in one or more solutions that work to enhance and/or retain the inherent material properties of the material. In one embodiment, the solution is an organic solution; in another embodiment, the solution is an organic solvent with a salt; in another embodiment, the solution is an organic solvent phenol and/or polyphenol; and in another embodiment, a series of such solutions is used.

摘要: The process for producing mycelium biomaterial provides fresh oxygen to the growing mycelium biomaterial while removing waste heat and waste carbon dioxide by forced aeration through large volumes of material. In a first phase of fungal expansion, humidified air at a programmed temperature is passed upwardly and through a fungal inoculated substrate of discrete particles to allow the fungal inoculum to expand and dominate the substrate. Nutrient is added to the inoculated mixture and a second phase of fungal expansion is performed wherein humidified air at a programmed temperature is passed upwardly and through the nutrient enriched fungal inoculated substrate to allow the fungal inoculum to bond the discrete particles into a self-supporting biocomposite.
The process and apparatus of the invention allows for the processing of grown materials bound by mycelium at depths of greater than 6″ and particularly in the range of from 24″ to 28″.-

摘要: The method grows a mycelial mass over a three-dimensional lattice such that a dense network of oriented hyphae is formed on the lattice. Growth along the lattice results in mycelium composite with highly organized hyphae strands and allows the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.

摘要: The process of making a mineralized mycelium scaffolding requires obtaining a scaffold of fungal biopolymer having a network of interconnected mycelia cells, functionalizing the biopolymer to create precursor sites and thereafter mineralizing the scaffold with one of silicates, apatites and carbonates. The mineralized mycelium scaffolding may be used for medical applications in place of mineralized collagen membranes and collagen/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds.

摘要: Apparatus and processes to grow a biomaterial made of aerial mycelium by sensing and controlling airborne mist concentration, regardless of relative humidity. A growth matrix comprising a growth medium and a fungus, is grown under controlled environmental conditions to produce a mycelium product. To control growth conditions precisely and efficiently, airborne mist is electronically detected using one or more sensors, configured to measure airborne mist concentration visually, optically, chemically, electromagnetically, or by laser, ultrasonically, with radar, or other means. Electronic detection of airborne mist using one or more sensors generates a signal that is transmitted to a processor that can either maintain, increase, or decrease airborne mist concentration in a growth environment. The present invention provides processes of growing mycelium that are repeatable and resource efficient, while providing high quality and quantity mycelium-based products.

摘要: The invention describes a methodology for production of a secondary extra-particle fungal matrix for application as a mycological material, manufactured via a Type II actively aerated static packed-bed bioreactor. A pre-conditioned air stream is passed through a substrate of discrete elements inoculated with a filamentous fungus to form an isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrix between the discrete elements. Continued feeding of the air through the substrate of discrete elements and isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrixes develops an extra-particle hyphal matrix that extends from an isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrix in the direction of airflow into a void space within the vessel.

摘要: This application relates generally to aerial mycelium and methods of making aerial mycelium suitable for use as a food or textile product or ingredient. Such a food product or ingredient can include edible aerial mycelium having a texture that is analogous to a whole-muscle meat product, such as for example mycelium-based bacon. Such a textile product or ingredient can be used in the manufacture of mycelium-based textile products, leather-like materials, petroleum-based product alternatives, or foams.
