Why Mycelium Bricks Beat Concrete on Weight and Waste
Mycelium bricks utilize fungal networks and organic waste to create lightweight, low-carbon building units. These materials deliver sustainability, superior insulation, and acoustic advantages, yet require rigorous moisture management, permeable coatings, and precise installation. Through thoughtful design, rigorous testing, and expert collaboration, mycelium bricks can transform sustainable construction by optimizing durability, affordability, and ecological impact.
