Abstract

Mycelium-based biomaterials are the result of cultivating fungi in organic materials, such as agricultural waste. This presents a promising alternative for developing new materials. Our study focuses on developing biobrick using mycelium prototypes and agricultural organic waste, specifically straw from crops in León, Guanajuato. We found that factors like light, humidity, and temperature conditions can influence the development of the biomaterial. Additionally, the drying process of the biomaterial, also be taken into consideration.
