Mushroom Insulation Grows Homes from Agricultural Waste
Mycelium insulation, cultivated from the root-like structures of mushrooms on agricultural waste, transforms sustainable homebuilding. This renewable material sequesters carbon, provides inherent fire resistance, absorbs sound effectively, and delivers energy savings comparable to conventional options. With declining costs and enhanced durability, mycelium positions itself as a key element in creating resilient, environmentally conscious residences.
