Functionality of Surface Mycelium Interfaces in Wood Bonding

Abstract: Filamentous fungi have been considered as candidates to replace petroleum-based adhesives and plastics in novel composite material production, particularly those containing lignocellulosic materials. However, the nature of the role of surface mycelium in the adhesion between lignocellulosic composite components is not well-known. The current study investigated the functionality of surface mycelium for wood bonding by incubating Trametes versicolor on yellow birch veneers and compared the lap-shear strengths af… Show more

“…Previous work has shown that fungal mycelium could act as an adhesive for enhancing the properties of biomass-based composites. 14 This may be because the outer layer of fungal hyphae contains proteins and glycoproteins, which are potential adhesive candidates that may enhance the interfaces of the composite. 27 In addition, Sun et al have reported that the bottom surface of mycelium layer is more hydrophilic and the top surface is more hydrophobic.…”

“…13 In particular, solid-state fermentation processes have been widely applied in biological industry due to low energy consumption and less waste water. 14 Among microorganisms, white-rot fungi are most common species used for modifying biomass. 15 Previous studies have demonstrated that white-rot fungi can enzymatically degrade all cell wall components.…”

“…However, there is a unique opportunity in exploring applications that combine the strengths of different material typologies. For example, PMM is a potential resource for laminating lignocellulosic materials together [ 86 ], while MBC, when left alive, can grow a thickened skin and join together separate blocks as shown in this mock-up installation [ 87 ]. Combining mycelium-based material typologies could potentially lead to the creation of new bio-composites with improved thermal, acoustic, and mechanical properties that cannot be achieved by a single typology alone.…”

“…However, the existing preparation methods of functional wood are all realized by adding functional materials to the interior or surface of wood. The added functional materials have poor miscibility with wood, and may deteriorate the original properties of wood itself, such as mechanical and processing properties [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. At the same time, most added functional materials are expensive and have certain toxicity, which will greatly increase the cost and may pollute to environment and cause harm to the human body [ 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
