Mycelium Structural Block

SKU: EP-2024030201

Category: Sustainable Materials

The Mycelium Structural Block is a bio-fabricated, carbon-neutral architectural material grown from fungal mycelium and agricultural waste. Developed through controlled cultivation and thermal curing, each block forms a lightweight yet robust structure with naturally irregular textures, warm earthen tones, and a tactile organic presence. Designed for spatial prototyping, modular construction, landscape interventions, and experimental interior applications, the material offers an ecological alternative to traditional masonry and foam-based substrates.

Engineered with over 95% bio-based content and relying on low-energy growth processes, the block provides a biodegradable, low-emission solution suitable for architects, researchers, and designers exploring circular construction models. Its dimensional stability, thermal performance, and compostable nature make it ideal for sustainable building systems, eco-design installations, and regenerative material development.

Why It Matters

The Mycelium Structural Block represents a radical shift toward regenerative material culture—transforming agricultural waste and fungal growth into functional architectural components. By replacing high-energy, petrochemical, and mineral-extraction materials, it provides a pathway toward carbon-neutral construction with minimal environmental impact.

This material advances MIOLISM’s vision for future-oriented sustainable innovation, empowering designers and architects to build with living systems, reduce material waste, and rethink how structures can be grown rather than manufactured.
