Method of making mycotecture construction unit using mycelium and mushrooms
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11997956B2) discloses a method for producing a food source or medicinal composition and constructing mycotecture units using mycelium/substrate composites and edible mushrooms. The process involves steps such as forming a mycelium inoculum, preparing the substrate, inoculating the substrate with mycelium, growing edible mushrooms, and harvesting them to create a mycelium-substrate composite. The method also includes manufacturing mycotecture construction units by pressing the composite into predetermined shapes and heating them to form durable structures.
Furthermore, the patent details additional steps such as storing the inoculated substrate in controlled environments, monitoring for contamination, collecting and sealing the composite, weighing predetermined amounts, and inserting them into molds. The method also specifies processes for pressing the composite using a tamper and conveyor, applying a predetermined pressure of about 150 tons, and heating the composite in a chamber for a specified duration. Additionally, the patent describes the formation of mycelium inoculum by culturing mycelium on agar, inoculating grain with mycelium, and adding wheat bran to enhance growth. Other steps include adding lime and wheat bran to the substrate, pasteurizing the substrate in plastic bags or a ribbon blender, and inoculating the substrate with mycelium in the blender.
