Mycelium-based composites (MBCs) have attracted growing attention due to their role in the development of eco-design methods. We concurrently analysed scientific publications, patent documents, and results of our own feasibility studies to identify the current design issues and technologies used. A literature inquiry in scientific and patent databases (WoS, Scopus, The Lens, Google Patents) pointed to 92 scientific publications and 212 patent documents. As a part of our own technological experiments, we have created several prototype products used in architectural interior design. Following the synthesis, these sources of knowledge can be concluded: 1. MBCs are inexpensive in production, ecological, and offer a high artistic value. Their weaknesses are insufficient load capacity, unfavourable water affinity, and unknown reliability. 2. The scientific literature shows that the material parameters of MBCs can be adjusted to certain needs, but there are almost infinite combinations: properties of the input biomaterials, characteristics of the fungi species, and possible parameters during the growth and subsequent processing of the MBCs. 3. The patent documents show the need for development: an effective method to increase the density and the search for technologies to obtain a more homogeneous internal structure of the composite material. 4. Our own experiments with the production of various everyday objects indicate that some disadvantages of MBCs can be considered advantages. Such an unexpected advantage is the interesting surface texture resulting from the natural inhomogeneity of the internal structure of MBCs, which can be controlled to some extent.
基于菌丝体的复合材料（MBCs）因其在生态设计方法发展中的作用而受到越来越多的关注。我们同时分析了科学出版物、专利文件以及我们自己可行性研究的结果，以确定当前的设计问题和所使用的技术。在科学和专利数据库（Web of Science、Scopus、The Lens、谷歌专利）中进行的文献检索发现了92篇科学出版物和212篇专利文件。作为我们自己技术实验的一部分，我们制作了几种用于建筑室内设计的原型产品。综合这些知识来源，可以得出以下结论：1. MBCs生产成本低、生态环保且具有很高的艺术价值。其缺点是承载能力不足、亲水性不佳以及可靠性未知。2. 科学文献表明，MBCs的材料参数可以根据特定需求进行调整，但存在几乎无限的组合：输入生物材料的特性、真菌种类的特征以及MBCs生长和后续加工过程中可能的参数。3. 专利文件显示了发展的必要性：一种提高密度的有效方法以及寻找获得复合材料更均匀内部结构的技术。4. 我们自己生产各种日常用品的实验表明，MBCs的一些缺点可以被视为优点。这样一个意想不到的优点是MBCs内部结构自然不均匀性所产生的有趣表面纹理，在一定程度上可以加以控制。
