Review highlights how mycelium fuses diverse substrates into sustainable engineered materials, indicating innovative approaches for construction.
Harnessing Fungal Biowelding This cover image illustrates fungal biowelding, where living mycelium grows across and binds diverse substrates into integrated engineered materials. Inspired by building and architectural assembly, this work highlights mycelium’s ability to fuse components, create structural continuity, and enable sustainable material fabrication through biologically driven growth and reinforcement. More details can be found in the Review by Xue Brenda Bai, Xinrui Sarah Niu, and Zhao Qin (DOI: 10.1002/adem.202501759). Image credit to Brenda Bai, Ian Zhou, and Gargi De.
