Mycelium is a collection of diverse hyphae. Mycelium often lives in environments rich in organic matter, such as dead standing wood, fallen wood, leaf litter, and dung grass. If the conditions are right, mycelium can reproduce endlessly. The dense network of hyphae provides structural support for fungal colonies, allowing them to grow and expand in a variety of environments. Recently, mycelium has been explored as a sustainable building material. By cultivating mycelium under specific conditions, it can be shaped into strong and durable structures that can replace traditional materials such as concrete and plastic.
