Researchers at Delft University of Technology have 3D printed living structures from Ganoderma lucidum mycelium that continue to grow and self-assemble functional particles after printing. The fungus captures nano- and micro-particles from its liquid growth medium, with carbon black particles boosting electrical signal amplitude by roughly nine times compared to non-functionalized samples. The approach could open a new class of living materials capable of sensing, environment

Researchers at the University of Bath have shown that Trametes versicolor, commonly known as turkey tail, can grow through waste oriented strand board (OSB) and convert it into a thermally insulating composite material.

Ecovative's Mycelium Chips Perform Machine Learning Tasks in DARPA-Funded Study

Researchers at the University of Vienna produced flexible leather-like sheets from Agaricus bisporus mushroom processing residues using papermaking methods.

A rigorous 18-week clinical trial found that daily consumption of maitake mushrooms significantly improved cognitive scores in healthy older adults, particularly in memory.
