Our first grown structure in 2017 led to an ongoing exploration that we call mycelium sausages. In this process mycelium is mixed with a substrate, pushed into a cotton bandage, woven into a shape and grown to create a robust structure. We think of this as something between traditional rattan weaving and manual 3D printing, as we are able to form any kind of shape using a long mycelium sausage.
The technique was developed to explore new ways of fabricating objects using mycelium without the need for molds.
