Abstract
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a prefab construction element (11), preferably a load-bearing element, for frame construction, such as wood frame construction, comprising the steps of providing a roofing, flooring or wall panel (2), which panel (2) comprises an enclosure (3), providing a fungus and a substrate, introducing or preparing a mixture (10) of the fungus and the substrate, in the enclosure (3) and allowing the fungus to grow to form a network of hyphae through the mixture (10) and into the walls (4-7) of the enclosure (3) to form a mycelium composite, and drying the composite while it remains in the enclosure (3) of the panel (2).

A method of manufacturing a prefab construction element for frame construction, comprising the steps of:
- providing a roofing, flooring or wall panel, which panel comprises an enclosure,
- providing at least one fungus and a substrate,
- introducing or preparing a mixture of the at least one fungus and the substrate, in the enclosure and
- allowing the at least one fungus to grow to form a network of hyphae through the mixture and into the walls of the enclosure to form a mycelium composite, and
- drying the composite while it remains in the enclosure of the panel.
