Researchers at the University of Bath tested 18 fungal strains to create mycelium-based insulation, finding all achieved thermal conductivity below 0.1 W/m·K; the threshold for effective insulation

Montana State University researchers developed biomineralised building materials using fungal mycelium scaffolds that maintain microbial viability for at least four weeks at elevated temperatures

A mushroom sold in Asian markets causes remarkably consistent hallucinations of miniature people in 96% of affected individuals, a phenomenon documented independently across China, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines

MIT chemists have synthesized verticillin A for the first time since its discovery in 1970, overcoming molecular complexity that stymied researchers for decades

Ethanol made from shiitake-treated wood performs well, showing the potential for pairing mushroom farming with renewable fuel production.
