The mycelium of the edible mushroom can be used for diverse technical applications, such as packaging materials or wastewater treatment, besides the more obvious use for nutrition. While usually grows on sawdust, wood or similar materials, a former study investigated mycelium growth on different nanofiber mats. Here, we report on growing on fabrics knitted from different materials, enabling the use of this mushroom in textile-based vertical farming. Our results underline that grows similar on natural fibers and on synthetic fibers. The agar medium used to provide nutrients was found to support mycelium growth optimally when applied by dip-coating, suggesting that, in this way, can also be grown on vertically aligned textile fabrics for vertical farming.
食用菌的菌丝体除了在营养方面有更明显的用途外，还可用于多种技术应用，如包装材料或废水处理。虽然它通常生长在锯末、木材或类似材料上，但之前的一项研究调查了菌丝体在不同纳米纤维垫上的生长情况。在此，我们报告了它在由不同材料编织而成的织物上的生长情况，这使得这种蘑菇能够用于基于纺织品的垂直种植。我们的结果表明，它在天然纤维和合成纤维上的生长情况相似。当通过浸涂法施用用于提供营养的琼脂培养基时，发现其能最佳地支持菌丝体生长，这表明通过这种方式，它也可以在垂直排列的纺织织物上生长以用于垂直种植。
