Mycelium Insulation Grows From Mushroom Roots
Mycelium insulation, derived from the root-like fibers of mushrooms, revolutionizes eco-friendly home building. This fully biodegradable material matches the thermal performance of conventional foams, while also managing moisture, resisting fire, and boosting indoor air quality. Although initial costs exceed traditional choices, scaling production will enhance affordability, delivering substantial energy savings and a lower carbon impact for environmentally aware homeowners.
