Story of
BIOP Mycelium
Mycelium
Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of branching, thread-like hyphae spread throughout the substrate. In simpler terms, mycelium can be described as the root system of fungi. It grows by digesting organic matter in its environment and breaking it down into simpler compounds that it can absorb and use for growth. Mycelium plays an important role in the ecosystem as it is responsible for decomposing dead organic matter, recycling nutrients, and supporting plant growth. Mycelium also has many practical applications, such as the production of food, medicine, and biomaterials.
What is up with Mycelium Biocomposites?
Mycelium biocomposites do not use any inorganic substances or adhesives. The only thing that holds the panels together is the natural growth of mycelium (mushroom roots) and their integration with organic waste. In this way, it offers a completely biological, non-toxic and carbon-negative alternative, not carbon-neutral. The production process requires low energy, it breaks down easily in nature and its production from waste increases its positive impact on the environment. It also stands out as an aesthetic and sustainable building material.
Nature Friendly
Mycelium biocomposites are made with completely natural materials and are environmentally friendly. The chemical-free production process creates a carbon negative impact by utilizing waste. This material is easily biodegradable and is a great alternative for those looking for sustainable building materials.

Carbon Neutral Production
Mycelium biocomposites are carbon negative products; they contribute to the environment by retaining more carbon in their structures than is released during production. By using these products, both companies and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint and step into a sustainable lifestyle, and they can add the wonderful texture of nature to their lives without compromising on aesthetics.
These materials, which can be used in homes, offices and workplaces, are part of the green technologies of the future. In addition to their environmentally friendly structures, with their superior insulation performance, they improve your structure and provide energy savings despite not being an insulation material. While achieving your sustainability goals, they also support your compliance with regulations such as the carbon law at the border. Now is the time to add value to both yourself and the future by protecting nature!
