A method of making dehydrated mycelium elements comprising the steps of: creating a living hydrated mycelium composite containing at least one of a combination of mycelium and fibers, mycelium and particles, and mycelium, particles and fibers; adding a nutrient material to said mycelium composite in an amount to promote mycelia tissue growth; thereafter dehydrating the mycelium composite to a moisture content of less than 50 % by weight to deactivate the further growth of mycelia tissue to form a dehydrated mycelium element; thereafter storing the dehydrated mycelium element at a temperature in the range of from -50 °F to +200 oF (-45.56 to 93.33 oC); and adding moisture to said mycelium element in an amount sufficient to rehydrate said mycelium element and to re-activate mycelium on the exterior of said mycelium for growth into an adjacent mycelium element to bond said elements together to form a fabricated section; OR creating a living hydrated mycelium composite containing at least one of a combination of mycelium and fibers, mycelium and particles, and mycelium, particles and fibers; adding a nutrient material to said mycelium composite in an amount to promote mycelia tissue growth; thereafter dehydrating the mycelium composite to a moisture content of less than 50% by weight to deactivate the further growth of mycelia tissue; processing the dehydrated mycelium composite into a plurality of discrete particles; and adding moisture to said plurality of discrete particles in an amount sufficient to re-hydrate said discrete particles and to re-activate mycelium on the exterior of said discrete particles for growth Into adjacent discrete particles. creating a living hydrated mycelium composite containing at least one of a combination of mycelium and fibers, mycelium and particles, and mycelium, particles and fibers; adding a nutrient material to said mycelium composite in an amount to promote mycelia tissue growth; thereafter dehydrating the mycelium composite to a moisture content of less than 50 % by weight to deactivate the further growth of mycelia tissue to form a dehydrated mycelium element; thereafter storing the dehydrated mycelium element at a temperature in the range of from -50 °F to +200 oF (-45.56 to 93.33 oC); and adding moisture to said mycelium element in an amount sufficient to rehydrate said mycelium element and to re-activate mycelium on the exterior of said mycelium for growth into an adjacent mycelium element to bond said elements together to form a fabricated section; OR creating a living hydrated mycelium composite containing at least one of a combination of mycelium and fibers, mycelium and particles, and mycelium, particles and fibers; adding a nutrient material to said mycelium composite in an amount to promote mycelia tissue growth; thereafter dehydrating the mycelium composite to a moisture content of less than 50% by weight to deactivate the further growth of mycelia tissue; processing the dehydrated mycelium composite into a plurality of discrete particles; and adding moisture to said plurality of discrete particles in an amount sufficient to re-hydrate said discrete particles and to re-activate mycelium on the exterior of said discrete particles for growth Into adjacent discrete particles.
