Fabrication and characterization of sawdust-reinforced mycelium biocomposite as alternative to expanded polystyrene packaging

Polystyrene is a lightweight, brittle, and low cost polymer that is a nonbiodegradable, mostly non-recyclable, and requires crude oil, a non-renewable source. The goal of this research was to create a biocomposite using mycelium from locally produced oyster mushrooms to bind scrap sawdust. The optim...
