Mycelium insulation

What is Mycelium ?
Mycelium is the vegetative filament
root structure of mushrooms. It is
essential to growing materials from
organic and synthetic substrates
that are the by-products or ‘wastes’
of other industries.
Mycelium insulation
Why Mycelium?
 Mycelium has recently garnered
increasing attention from
academic and industrial sectors
due to its minimal energy
requirements during growth,
absence of by-product generation,
and extensive potential
applications
Why Mycelium?
 Mycelium not only outperforms
petrochemical/plastic-based construction
materials in thermal and acoustic
insulation but, as a natural material, it is
also safer and healthier. Agricultural by-
products that would otherwise go to
landfill can be used to grow mycelium,
and the entire manufacturing process has
a small carbon footprint.

 Thermal Capacity
Mycelium properties
 ​ aterials made with mycelium are highly effective thermal insulating products. They outperform most of the natural alternatives
M
currently available. Biohm's mycelium insulation has achieved thermal conductivity as low as 0.03W/m.K
 Fire Performance
 Mycelium releases significantly less heat and smoke during burning, with a much lower average and peak heat release rates. When
exposed to fire, it takes longer to flash due to its charring behaviour.
 Acoustic Performance
 ​ ycelium provides excellent acoustic insulation. Tests show an acoustic absorption of at least 75% at 1000Hz (the typical frequency of
M
road traffic noise).
 Indoor Air Quality
 Biohm's insulation is breathable, wicks moisture and contains negligible amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), achieving an
A+ rating. It allows air to pass through naturally whilst also blocking particulates, reducing dampness and improving indoor air quality.
 Durability
 Mycelium products are at least as durable as most conventional construction materials. They maintain their insulative properties
throughout their life.
 Buildability
 ​ iohm's mycelium materials are easily installed and do not require training or additional safety equipment. They are manufactured
B
following industry standards.
