Abstract: As the demand for sustainable building materials rises, bio-based insulation solutions are gaining attention. This study presents a novel thermal insulation material created by using mycelium as a natural binder, combined with agricultural waste as the substrate. Preliminary tests show that the mycelium-based bio-composite offers competitive thermal properties and demonstrates a lower environmental impact compared to conventional synthetic insulations. However, further research is required to fully assess its performance and potential applications.
