“…The study demonstrates the ability of T. reesei to precipitate CaCO 3 crystals when growing in suitable liquid conditions and proposes an optimal biomineralization medium that could be used in further explorations on the encapsulation of the spores. Biomineralization in liquid media has already been demonstrated for other species as well, such as Neurospora crassa [ 18,33 ] and Fusarium oxysporum , [ 19 ] these studies focused on the growth and precipitation on a surface of respectively mortar and concrete and yielded positive results. Although the addition of cement was considered in this research as well, it was rather explorative and requires a more in‐depth investigation.…”

“…[ 8 ] Autonomous self‐healing methods require a self‐healing agent, such as specific bacteria and fungi capable of CaCO 3 ‐producing biomineralization. [ 4,12–19 ] These approaches rely on the addition of microbial cells and nutrients to the concrete mixture during the manufacturing process.…”

“…Increasing attention has been directed toward the use of fungi given their extensive network‐like growth, thereby offering more sites for CaCO 3 precipitation. [ 4,14,19,22 ] But also in this case, the alkaline environment of concrete poses challenges to fungal survival and growth. To select suitable fungal species or strains as self‐healing agents in concrete, stringent criteria must be met such as non‐pathogenicity, capability of producing highly resistant spores, ability for vegetative growth in crack‐forming conditions, survival and growth in harsh alkaline environments and promotion of CaCO 3 precipitation at the cell wall surface.…”

“…[ 20 ] Several well‐characterized model species, such as Aspergillus nidulans , Trichoderma reesei , Fusarium oxysporum , Neurospora crassa, Rhizopus oryzae , and Trichoderma longibrachiatum have been identified as potentially capable of growing and precipitating CaCO 3 in concrete‐relevant environments. [ 4,14,19,22–24 ] Additionally, novel isolates sampled from relevant natural or anthropogenic habitats, for example from a limestone cave, were characterized for their growth and CaCO 3 precipitation abilities in concrete‐like conditions.

“…This study aims to further investigate the potential of T. reesei for the development of self‐healing concrete by determining optimal conditions for CaCO 3 precipitation. The experimental design is informed by a comprehensive literature review on bacteria‐based self‐healing concrete, [ 13,15–17,20,21,32 ] recent advancements in fungi‐mediated self‐healing concrete [ 4,14,19,33 ] and studies on CaCO 3 biomineralization by fungi. [ 18,33 ] The biomineralization process of CaCO 3 by T. reesei is examined in liquid media containing various nutrients, urea and different calcium sources and concentrations.…”

Concrete, a widely used building material, often suffers from cracks that lead to corrosion and degradation. A promising solution to enhance its durability is the use of fungi as self‐healing agents, specifically by harnessing their ability to promote calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation on their cell walls. However, the ideal conditions for CaCO3 precipitation by the filamentous fungal species Trichoderma reesei are still unclear. In this study, the biomineralization properties of T. reesei in liquid media are investigated. Two different calcium sources, calcium chloride (CaCl2) and calcium lactate are tested, at varying concentrations and in the presence of different nutritional sources that support growth of T. reesei. This study also explores the effects on fungal growth upon adding cement to the medium. Calcium lactate promotes greater fungal biomass production, although less crystals are formed as compared to samples with CaCl2. An increasing calcium concentration positively influences fungal growth and precipitation, but this effect is hindered upon the addition of cement. The highest amounts of biomass and calcium carbonate precipitation are achieved with potato dextrose broth as a nutritional source. By identifying the optimal conditions for CaCO3 precipitation by T. reesei, this study highlights its potential as a self‐healing agent in concrete.

The socio‐economic struggles in Africa are partly attributed to the low productivity of the agricultural sector. The Sustainable Development Goals Centre for Africa (SDGC/A) and the African Development Bank Group (AfDBG) both agree that the continent needs sustainable interventions to boost agricultural productivity, employment, and income. In this regard, mycelium composite production can present one potential solution. The added value to agricultural waste used to produce mycelium composites can generate additional revenue for farmers, serving as an incentive to increase agricultural productivity. Furthermore, the establishment of mycelium composite start‐ups can increase employment and income, especially for women and the youth. Mycelium composites can also aid in mitigating environmental and health challenges caused by some of the current waste management practices in Africa. This review offers valuable insights into the potential use of mycelium composites as a sustainable alternative for Africa. It explores the potential use of locally accessible resources, the potential applications for the composites in Africa, and the potential challenges that may arise with this technology. It further assesses the potential contribution of this technology to sustainable development in Africa in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN).

“You Are What You Eat”: How Fungal Adaptation Can Be Leveraged toward Myco‐Material Properties

Fungi adapt to their surroundings, modifying their behaviors and composition under different conditions like nutrient availability and environmental stress. This perspective examines how a basic understanding of fungal genetics and the different ways that fungi can be influenced by their surroundings can be leveraged toward the production of functional mycelium materials. Simply put, within the constraints of a given genetic script, both the quality and quantity of fungal mycelium are shaped by what they eat and where they grow. These two levers, encompassing their global growth environment, can be turned toward different materials outcomes. The final properties of myco‐materials are thus intimately shaped by the conditions of their growth, enabling the design of new biobased and biodegradable material constructions for applications that have traditionally relied on petroleum‐based chemicals.This perspective highlights aspects of fungal genetics and environmental adaptation that have potential materials science implications, along the way touching on key studies, both to situate the state of the art within the field and to punctuate the viewpoints of the authors. Finally, this work ends with future perspectives, reinforcing key topics deemed important to consider in emerging myco‐materials research.
