COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING FUNGAL TEXTILE MATERIAL

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/172999

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Described herein is a process in which filamentous fungi can be used to create textile or paper materials with tunable properties. The textiles can range from leather-like to paper-like depending on the species of fungi used and the growth conditions. The method of production utilizes the tendency of filamentous fungi to form films on still liquids, in order to generate many mycelial mats concurrently. These mats can then be layered to create textile materials, paper materials, and other material types having varying thickness, composition, and mechanical properties.
