BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR FORMING A BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL

Abstract:

A biocomposite material and methods and systems for forming a biocomposite material are provided. In one example, a biocomposite material includes a biopolymer material and an internal structure imparting zonal properties to the biocomposite material, where the biopolymer material at least partially surrounds and/or extends through the internal structure. The biopolymer material includes mycelium grown from a fungal strain.
