A mycelium-based biocomposite comprising mycelium and a substrate including one or more textiles wherein the mycelium is integrated into the substrate and a method for making a mycelium using one or more textiles as a substrate. Growth of mycelial cells into networks throughout the substrate provide the biocomposite with improved morphological and structural properties.
