Usage of Mycelium-Based Composites in the Construction of Small Architectural Structures

Mycelium is a biomaterial that can be an innovative alternative to existing solutions in architecture. The study analyzed 10 examples of small architectural structures built on the basis of the myceliumbased composites. The aim of the research was to collect data showing the scope of possibilities of using mycelium in creating this type of objects. The analysis focused on connections of mycelium with other building materials, ways of protecting mycelium against external factors, and aesthetic and finishing aspects.
