US 2025/0081899 A1 · METHODS FOR CONTROLLING GEOMETRIC REGULARITY AND HOMOGENEITY OF AERIAL MYCELIUM TOPOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS OF AERIAL MYCELIUM WITH GEOMETRICALLY REGULAR OR HOMOGENEOUS TOPOLOGIES

Abstract

This application relates to a method for growing aerial mycelium with a defined growth pattern and products of aerial mycelium materials with defined growth patterns based on controlled inoculation and either pasteurization or sterilization of a substrate in situ at the same select physical location. For example, a defined growth pattern can include a homogeneous growth topology or a geometrically regular pattern of bulbous forms, prompted by a defined geometrically regular inoculation of pasteurized or sterilized substrate from which the aerial mycelium is grown.

Dependent claims

A method of growing an aerial mycelium material comprising:

pasteurizing a substrate in an at least one tool located at a select physical location to form a pasteurized substrate;
and
inoculating the pasteurized substrate with a fungal inoculum in a targeted fashion in the at least one tool at the select physical location to form a pasteurized and inoculated substrate, such that the targeted fashion of inoculating results in mycelium growing from the pasteurized and inoculated substrate in a regular geometric distribution upon a surface of the pasteurized and inoculated substrate.
