BackMycelium insulation panel
Mycelium - the vegetative filament root structure of mushrooms - is harnessed to grow materials using organic and synthetic substrates that are the by-products or 'wastes' of other industries. It outperforms petrochemical/plastic based construction materials in thermal and acoustic insulation and, as a natural material, it is also safer and healthier.
