Environmental pollution and scarcity of natural resources lead to an increased interest in developing more sustainable materials. For example, the traditional construction industry, which is largely based on the extraction of fossil fuels and raw materials, is called into question. A solution can be found in biologically augmented materials that are made by growing mycelium-forming fungal microorganisms on natural fibres rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In this way, organic waste streams, such as agricultural waste, are valorised while creating a material that is biodegradable at the end of its life cycle - a process that fits in the spirit of circular economy. Mycelium-based materials have properties that are promising for a wide range of applications, including the use as construction materials. Despite this promise, the applicability and the practicality of these materials are largely unexplored and moreover, individual studies use a wide range of different experimental approaches and non-standardized procedures. In this review, we critically evaluate existing data on the composition of mycelium-based materials and process variables with the aim of providing a comprehensive framework of the production process. The framework illustrates the many input factors during the production that have an impact on the final characteristics of the material, and the unique potential to deploy more tuneable levels in the fabrications process that can serve to prototype a diversity of new unprecedented applications. Furthermore, we determine the applicability of existing data and identify knowledge gaps. This framework is valuable in identifying standardized approaches for future studies and in informing the design and process of new applications of mycelium-based materials.

用于生产基于菌丝体的木质纤维素复合材料的综合框架。

环境污染和自然资源稀缺导致人们对开发更可持续的材料的兴趣增加。例如,主要以提取化石燃料和原材料为基础的传统建筑业受到质疑。可以在生物增强材料中找到解决方案,这种材料是通过在富含纤维素、半纤维素和木质素的天然纤维上生长形成菌丝体的真菌微生物制成的。通过这种方式,有机废物流(如农业废物)得到了增值,同时创造了一种在其生命周期结束时可生物降解的材料——这一过程符合循环经济的精神。基于菌丝体的材料具有广泛应用前景的特性,包括用作建筑材料。尽管有这个承诺,这些材料的适用性和实用性在很大程度上是未经探索的,此外,个别研究使用了广泛的不同实验方法和非标准化程序。在这篇综述中,我们批判性地评估了有关基于菌丝体的材料的组成和工艺变量的现有数据,目的是提供一个全面的生产过程框架。该框架说明了生产过程中对材料的最终特性有影响的许多输入因素,以及在制造过程中部署更多可调整级别的独特潜力,可用于原型各种新的前所未有的应用。此外,我们确定现有数据的适用性并确定知识差距。
