_RESEARCH
Wild Futures Lab conducts interdisciplinary research into mycelium-based bio-design, focusing on species-specific variations to enhance material innovation and sustainable design. The research investigates a variety of fungal species, analyzing their growth behaviors under controlled conditions. The research investigates species-specific traits such as growth density, texture, and morphologies, which can be leveraged for applications in bio-textiles, structural materials, and eco-centric architectural components. By integrating wet-lab experimentation with design objectives, Wild Futures Lab advances sustainable alternatives to conventional materials, aligning ecological objectives with innovative architectural practices. The work underscores the potential of fungal systems to redefine material science, offering biodegradable, versatile solutions for environmental and design challenges.
