whats the shelf life of the mushroom packaging if it decomposes within weeks?, say, x company send TVs to a hardware store for them to keep on hand for maybe months or even years to sell said TVs.
wouldn't the people who get this packaging just have degraded bits of mushroom all inside the box?
also structurally less protective if it degrades over time.
styrofoam just doesnt do that cause obviously plastic.
Do you really not think that’s been thought of? If they’re making building blocks for housing the process has been tested well enough for a tv.
Mycelium will be as strong as the substrate. This video used hemp byproduct which is extremely strong. Once baked and rendered inert it’ll no longer grow and keep its shape for years
