Hemp structure – Gradient
A non-uniform hemp pattern let the mycelium to grow by a gradient of density.
Pleurotus & Fiber & (bio)Plastic
A test to explore mycelium behaviours on a substrate made by hemp fiber and (bio)Plastic. Once Pleurotus is sufficiently grown, petri capsula was opened to let it air-dry.
Results show an high tensile strength fibrous composite.
(bio)plastic recipe: #2.1
mycelium: POS 1 _ Pleurotus Ostreatus

Exploring boundaries
How does the mycelium explore boundaries and build bridge connetions from landscape morphology?
This test allows to understand mycelium’s behaviours of growth through PLA substrate.
To do that a 3d printed mask was insert into a petri dish before the sterilization.
Substrates are:
LIGN _ Lignosulphonate bretax C 1,5% + AA 1% | pH: 6,12
CELL _ carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt 1,5% + AA 1% | pH: 5,92
Micelia are:
GLU2 _ ganoderma lucidum (inoculated on 18th of September 2014)
POS1 _ pleurotus ostreatus (inoculated on 18th of September 2014)
ARM _ armillaria mellea (inoculated on 18th of September 2014)
