- Sawdust Spawn
You can buy sawdust spawn online, or make your own with hardwood fuel pellets and grain spawn. Field & Forest Products carries sawdust spawn, but I haven't used it. They have a good reputation.

I have only tried this with Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) mycelium. I have seen research papers with Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) that have good mechanical property results also. If you have other sawdust spawn that forms thick mycelium, it's worth a shot.
