The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional body, in particular layer by layer. The method comprises a step of providing (I) a fungus-containing bonding agent (26). The method comprises a step of laying out (II) particles (28) in at least one particle layer (14) over a print bed (22). The method comprises a step of applying (III) the fungus-containing bonding agent (26) in a defined area of the particle layer (14). The method comprises a step of inducing (IV) a growth of a fungal mycelium (24) from fungus-containing bonding agent (26) to structurally connect particles (28) of the particle layer (14) to form a green body (32). The method comprises a step of exposing (V) the green body (32).

The method grows a mycelial mass over a three-dimensional lattice such that a dense network of oriented hyphae is formed on the lattice. Growth along the lattice results in mycelium composite with highly organized hyphae strands and allows the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.

This application relates generally to aerial mycelium and methods of making aerial mycelium suitable for use as a food or textile product or ingredient. The aerial mycelium can be grown using a growth matrix provided into a growth environment and introducing aqueous mist into the growth environment. The aqueous mist has a mist deposition rate and a mean mist deposition rate to allow for aerial mycelial growth from the growth matrix.

A feedstock for moulding may include a plurality of feed components. The plurality of feed components may include hyphae. The feedstock may further include a binder. The plurality of feed components may be coated by and/or impregnated with the binder. The binder may be suitable to bind the plurality of feed components together when activated. Methods include preparing the feedstocks and for preparing products formed therefrom.

Methods and apparatuses, including systems, for forming mycelium fabrics, manufacturing and/or production in large-scale mushroom farm facilities (e.g., commercial scale under an agroecological approach). These methods and apparatuses may allow the scaling-up of manufacturing of mycotextiles in a manner that is both cost-effective and respectful of the environment, including minimizing the production of harmful byproducts. These methods and apparatuses include adding a stabilized formulation containing growth inducers and functionalized nanoparticles to allow both fungal mycelium growth and in situ and in vivo nanocrosslinking.

A method for producing a mycelial sheet includes: subjecting a fungus to static cultivation in a liquid medium containing a cellulose, so as to allow the fungus to form the mycelial sheet on a surface of the liquid medium; and collecting the mycelial sheet from the surface of the liquid medium containing the cellulose.
