From: Quantification of fungal biomass in mycelium composites made from diverse biogenic side streams
Fungal biomass production during 21 days of incubation of 20 different fungus-substrate combinations. The results are displayed as mycelium mass per composite volume (left) and per composite mass (right). The data were sorted by mycelium mass per composite volume. Composites with low densities rank higher when the mycelial biomass is related to the composite mass instead of its volume and vice versa for dense materials. Values represent arithmetic means with standard deviations of five biological replicates for all combinations except TVSBG80 (n = 3) and PPPS (n = 4). Different letters indicate statistically significant difference to materials containing the same fungus or substrate (Dunn, p ≤ 0.05).
