Growth & Processing Phases

11.5 Days Total

1. Substrate Cleaning & Inoculation

Sieving, sterilizing with heat/steam, and mixing the organic matrix with live mycelium spawn.

1.0 Day

2. Active Bio-Infill Growth (Incubation)

Fungus consumes natural carbohydrates, knitting structural agricultural fibers into a single solid block inside customized templates.

7.0 Days

3. Deactivation & Baking

Baking blocks at ~70°C to dehydrate and put the fungi to sleep, locking the final mechanical strength in place.

1.5 Days

4. Final Assembly & Installation

Deploying the lightweight, fully solid, carbon-negative panels onto structural support skeletons.

🌱 Carbon Capture Profile

CO₂ Sequestered

207 kg CO₂-e

Unlike traditional concrete which emits massive carbon, this mycelium structure actively locks carbon inside its organic fibers.
