Masterclass From substrate to product

🌿 Masterclass: Growing & Scaling Mycelium Design

“From Substrate to Mycelium Product”

Dive into the world of regenerative materials with our hands-on masterclass. Perfect for designers, makers, architects, or innovators looking to work with mycelium as a design and manufacturing tool.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

1. Starting from Pre-Grown Substrate

• Quick recap: key substrate conditions for successful inoculation & colonization
• Mold systems: from simple setups to integrated design-driven molds
• Additives & waste streams: altering properties and performance
• Strategies for reducing contamination
• Application-based tuning (density, elasticity)
  

 2. Growing & Forming

• Mold design: principles, integration into products, types of materials used
• Environmental control (humidity, oxygen, CO₂) depending on the species and application
• How to influence shape, density, and internal properties through design

 3. Drying & Stabilizing

• Why deactivate mycelium (and when not to)
• Drying options: convection, open-air, energy recovery, dehydration techniques for different scales
• Preventing shrinkage, cracking, and deformation in both small and large-scale formats

• Coating methods: natural, industrial, color, texture, fire resistance
• Protection strategies for long-term performance

4. Product Development & Scale-Up

• Designing with purpose: acoustic, aesthetic, structural use cases
• Prototyping workflows vs. batch production
• Real-world examples from architecture, product design, and interior applications
