The aim of this experiment was to understand the possibilities of using mycelium as a biodegradable material, and to explore its strengths and weaknesses, especially in a combination with straw. The main goal was to see how these two materials work together regarding growing intensity, strength, and appearance. | The aim of this experiment was to understand the possibilities of using mycelium as a biodegradable material, and to explore its strengths and weaknesses, especially in a combination with straw.
