Mycelium Experiments is an ongoing material research series investigating the structural, thermal, and fabrication potential of mycelium-based composites for architectural applications. The project explores multiple growth conditions, substrate compositions, mold geometries, and curing techniques to evaluate strength, density, surface texture, and dimensional stability.

Through hands-on testing, the research examines how variables such as compression, moisture content, growth duration, and formwork material influence performance and consistency. Prototypes range from small test tiles to compressed blocks and custom-molded components, serving as a physical library of outcomes to inform future construction-scale systems.

This work functions as a foundational study supporting the development of bio-based building elements, including insulation panels, façade components, and lightweight structural infill. By combining digital fabrication workflows with biological material processes, the project aims to establish repeatable methods for integrating living materials into contemporary architectural design and sustainable construction practices.
