Mycelium production process: Step-by-step guide
Mycelium production is the process of cultivating fungal root networks on agricultural waste substrates – such as corn stalks, sawdust, or straw – and guiding their growth into a dense, mouldable composite material. The process takes roughly 5–14 days from inoculation to finished product, requires no synthetic inputs, and produces a biodegradable material that can be composted at end of life. Here’s how it works, step by step.
