This project confronts the controlled environmental conditions required to cultivate biological mycelium-based composites by developing “dirty” soil-based substrates for pleurotus ostreatus mycelium strands.

Embarking on one of nature’s architects: mycelium, this project includes a tile system fabricating with 3D printing and molding techniques. The main goal is to investigate thresholds and the potentials of growing mycelium on light fiber-clay mixture designs within “dirty” settings.
