Mycelium panels, as bio-based construction materials, are transforming approaches to carbon reduction in buildings. With construction responsible for a large portion of global carbon emissions, architects and developers are seeking materials that minimize carbon footprint while maintaining durability, thermal efficiency, and acoustic performance.
Unlike MDF or OSB, mycelium panels are grown on upcycled food or agricultural waste, sequestering carbon during production and remaining biodegradable at end-of-life. This article explores how mycelium panels contribute to carbon emissions reduction, their lifecycle impact, and practical strategies for incorporating them in residential, commercial, and public projects.
