BIOHM

Mycelium insulation grown using organic waste, developed in London.

Description

A London-based biotech company founded in 2017 that develops regenerative materials from mushroom mycelium fed with organic and agricultural waste. Its main product is a mycelium insulation panel (MIP) which, according to the company, is carbon-negative and offers good thermal, acoustic and fire performance, as it is grown rather than manufactured through energy-intensive processes. It maintains patent activity and pilot projects with British developers. It is at the industrial scaling stage, so it's worth checking the commercial availability of each product.

Why we chose it

Because it explores the limits of what mycelium can do for construction, with insulation that's grown rather than manufactured.
