A novel strategy for extracting white mycelial pulp from fruiting mushroom bodies
Mycelial fibers, the fibrous cells found in fruiting mushroom bodies, have gained momentum as a sustainable material for making faux-leather and packaging owing to their excellent formability. Recently, a team of researchers has found a simple way of obtaining mycelial fibers, called ‘mycelial pulp,’ from fruiting mushroom bodies and bleaching them using sunlight while keeping their mycelial structures intact.
