Mycelium,  of fungi, has many potential medical applications, including

wound healing, tissue engineering, and as a therapeutic drug

.

Wound healing

• Mycelium’s fibrous structure is similar to human skin’s collagen, making it a potential platform for wound healing.

• Mycelium-based materials have been shown to be safe and effective in tissue engineering as dermal substitutes.

Tissue engineering

• Mycelium’s fibrous structure can be used as a self-growing scaffold that mimics the human body’s extracellular matrix.

• Mycelium’s chemical and physical properties can be adjusted to suit specific applications.

Therapeutic drug

• Mycelium has been shown to have therapeutic effects, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

• Mycelium from Hericium erinaceus has been shown to delay neuronal cell death in rats with neurodegenerative diseases.

Other applications

• Mycelium has also been used in cosmetics, biosensors, and smart packaging.

• Mycelium is a natural, sustainable, and biodegradable material.

Mycelium is the self-growing, interconnected fibrous network of elongated cells that make up the vegetative part of fungi.
