Mycelium-bound composites are normally made of discrete lignocellulosic substrate elements bound together by filamentous fungal hyphae. They can be formed into bespoke components of desired geometries by moulding or extrusion. Mycelium-bound composit...

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...
