Influence of growth rates, microstructural properties and biochemical composition on the thermal stability of mycelia fungi

Abstract Mycelium fungal species exhibit fire retardant characteristics. The influence of the growth media on the fungal growth rates, biochemical composition, and microstructural characteristics and their relationship to thermal properties is poorly understood. In this paper, we demonstrate that mo...
