Hushroom

An exploration into mycelium-based composite materials as a sustainable alternative to synthetic foam. By growing fungal root structures through agricultural waste substrates, the project investigates how biological processes can produce lightweight, biodegradable, and structurally capable materials.

Multiple sample compositions were tested for compression resistance, surface texture, and thermal properties — exploring the design space between industrial production and living material systems.
