Mycelium Composite

This study explores how mycelium composites enhance comfort, sustainability, and functionality in interior environments by focusing on material, sensory, and ecological aspects. It examines naturally grown, bio-based mycelium materials, analyzing their potential in creating cohesive and environmentally responsible spaces. Through a review of existing literature and material-based case studies, the research investigates how mycelium influences sensory experience, interior atmosphere, and sustainable design outcomes. Mycelium’s organic textures contribute to tactile engagement, while its natural growth patterns add visual richness and authenticity. Its biodegradable nature supports eco-friendly living, reducing environmental impact and promoting healthier indoor conditions. The study demonstrates that integrating mycelium composites into design can enrich interiors by aligning functional needs with ecological values and sensorial well-being.
