Mycelium single use lid

post-image
My project is for a biodegradable single use lid made from mycelium. Current single use lids, even paper lids contain plastic that is harmful to the environment since it will never break down. Additionally most plastic lids are never recycled since they are so small and often contain food contaminants. I am using sawdust to grow the mycelium on then I will be putting that into moulds where it will take the final shape of the lid. 


What do you think?

Brilliant idea George

What do you need help with. If you can provide a few tricky things you are trying to over come we can target our resources to addressing them. So many applications for this exciting material. Might be worth having a chat to these guys, https://www.fungisolutions.com.au/

Looking forward to seeing your project evolve.

Hello, I am currently growing a variety of mushroom species to test for the best properties for my design. I am having problems with the time it takes for the mycelium to fully colonise the moulds, if anyone can help with that I would really appreciate the help. I am also designing and printing moulds to grow the mycelium in on Fusion 360, I don't require any assistance with that however any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks for viewing my project.
