Abstract

This investigation frames on the exploration and experimentation of a new bio-based material, composed from the utilization of the fungi mycelium that decomposes wood and sub-products of the agricultural industry. In Chile, more than 3000 fungi species are registered (Mujica y Vergara, 1980), of which only 10% have being described. The geography and weather of this country stimulate the fungi development, especially in the central and the south side, which has the right variables for their life. For this research, the wood rotting fungus of the basidiomycetes division was collected, identified and reproduced. In particular with the Pleorotus ostreatus and the Trametes versicolor species. From this research it is intended to obtain a typology of possible bio-based materials. On the other side, the agricultural industry generate a big amount of waste. According to odepa, in the years 2015- 2016 the waste of cereal crop was of 2.1 millons tons. (odepa, 2016). The physical and mechanical properties of this material are being evaluated, for it application in design areas, defining it possible use.
