Fabrication and Characterization of Bioblocks from Agricultural Waste Using Fungal Mycelium for Renewable and Sustainable Applications

Recent advances in the field of biomaterials and an ever-growing need to curb the alarming rate of pollution levels have led to the utilization of biodegradable waste to fabricate sustainable materials with tunable properties. The current study investigated the growth kinetics and morphology of Pleurotus ostreatus (P. ostreatus) mycelium grown on different agricultural wastes such as wheat bran, sugarcane, sawdust, and the mixture of these...
