Mycelium is a living agent-system. The hemp fiber structure built here connects two plexiglass plates and It provides a good substrate to mycelium growth. Result shows a redundant and hyper connected system: a fibrous composite material made of (and by) mycelium.

Sequential operations

• design and lasercut plates: plexiglass, diameter 75/88 mm, thickness 3mm (thanks to MakeInBo)
• build hemp structures: distance between plates 15cm
• put the structure in a glass jar with some ml of water
• autoclave, 121°C – 20′
• (bio)plastic #2.1.2 spread on fibers
• inoculate with POS1 – Pleurotus Ostreatus (5 infected wheat grains)
• growth in a dark room at 22.5°C for 12 days > image
