Abstract

The increasing need to protect the planet, promoting sustainable development that does not compromise resources, has promoted the investigation of new materials that come from renewable sources, are respectful with the environment and at the end of their life cycle are biodegradable or recyclable, promoting the circular economy avoiding the generation of waste. The fungi produce the mycelium that appears as an emerging biomaterial that can be used in many industrial fields, as a source of novel compounds through biofabrication. In this work, different prototypes have been developed using mycelium material for the manufacture of composites using transfer and thermocompression molding technology.
