Fungal materials and their applications Fungal materials are biomaterials made out of fungi, a kingdom of organisms that includes yeasts, molds and mushrooms. The fruiting body of Fomes fomentarius (aka “tinder fungus”) is known for its ancient use as a fire-starter and has been used for centuries to make amadou, a buckskin-like fabric. However, the traditional craft of amadou-making is slowly dying and the vast majority of fungal materials are now made of mycelium, the root-like part of mushrooms and molds that consist of a vast network of microscopic thread-like filaments.Hugoen
