Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ingo Johannsen from the Ostfalia research group at the University of Applied Sciences in Wolfsburg is collaborating with the company Werkhaus on a project. Their research focuses on developing modular building materials using mycelium, enhanced with outer layers for added functionality like strength and water resistance, potentially for use in eco-friendly tiny house villages. The project is in its early stages, involving material science and design students in creating prototypes and conducting standard material testing, like three-point bending, to evaluate the strength of the mycelium-based materials.
