The packing material around this small glass was 3D printed from used coffee grounds. A white mycelium (sort of a root system for mushrooms) grows on the outside, which turns the grounds into a ...

Mycelium-based composites created from Pleurotus ostreatus, grown on spent coffee grounds (SCG) as the primary substrate, are enhanced with natural pineapple fibers (NPFs). These NPFs are mixed with ...

As an avid gardener and (very) amateur cook, learning how to grow edible mushrooms at home seemed like a no-brainer. Little did I know how little I knew. I ordered fungi guru Paul Stamets’ definitive ...

Researchers from the University of Washington developed a method to convert nutrient-rich coffee grounds into a paste for 3D printing. The paste is inoculated with Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) mushroom ...

Scientists have created an innovative, environmentally friendly substance known as "mycelium-based composites (MBCs)." These MBCs are gaining recognition for their distinctive qualities, making them a ...
