Claim 0:
1. A method for creating a mycelium-based biocomposite material, the method comprising:
determining an inoculated substrate and an internal textile for the mycelium-based biocomposite material;
constructing the inoculated substrate with the internal textile;
fermenting the constructed inoculated substrate to induce growth of the mycelium-based biocomposite material; and
dehydrating the grown mycelium-based biocomposite material after fermenting the constructed inoculated substrate,
wherein the grown mycelium-based biocomposite material being stiff, rigid, and load-bearing by having a density greater than 0.25 g/cm3 (15.79 lbs/ft3), a modulus of elasticity greater than 53 MPa (7,687 psi), and an ultimate compressive strength greater than 1.2 MPa (174 psi).
