Mycelium-Based Construction

Living building materials grown from fungal networks.

BACK TO CONTINUUM VIEW INTERACTIVE VERSION

Bioengineered mycelium composites that grow into bricks, insulation, and structural panels within days. Carbon-negative, compostable, and self-repairing, these materials offer a regenerative alternative to concrete and steel, reducing construction's climate footprint while creating resilient, adaptive buildings.

Mycelium Brick

This biofabricated building material, grown from the root network of fungi, helps reduce the heavy carbon footprint and waste generated by traditional materials such as concrete and fired clay. By utilising agricultural by-products such as sawdust or straw as feedstock, mycelium bricks convert organic waste into robust, lightweight, and biodegradable structures.
