Abstract

Fibrous materials that include biomaterials are disclosed, as are methods for making and using such fibrous materials. In some embodiments, a biomaterial-based fibrous material is formed by extruding a deformable mixture comprising the biomaterial into a desired spatial configuration and subsequently treating the deformable mixture to form the fibrous material. In some cases, the fibrous material may be a textile and/or the biomaterial may comprise fungal biomass. The biomaterial-based fibrous materials disclosed herein may have advantageous mechanical and aesthetic properties that make the fibrous materials especially suitable for use, by way of non-limiting example, as leather analog materials.

Abstract

Composite materials that include a biomaterial are disclosed, as are methods for making and using such materials. In some embodiments, a biomaterial-containing composite material is formed by polymerization of monomers, oligomers, and/or reactive polymers in contact with the biomaterial, such that the composite material includes both a biomaterial and a polymeric structure. Additionally or alternatively, a biomaterial may be treated by crosslinking of surface peptides. Additionally or alternatively, the biomaterial may be plasticized by the use of a deep eutectic solvent. The biomaterial is in some embodiments derived from one or more filamentous fungi.

Abstract

Methods for making a biocomposite material include depositing a fluid mixture into a desired spatial configuration, where the fluid mixture includes a carrier fluid, biomass, and a gelling agent; triggering gelling of the fluid mixture to form a biomass gel; and removing at least a portion of the carrier fluid to form the biocomposite material. Biocomposite materials as disclosed herein may have advantageous mechanical and aesthetic properties that make the materials especially suitable for use as textile materials, including but not limited to leather analog textile materials.

Abstract

Fungal food products are provided, in which an additive or modification allows a sensory perception of the fungal food product to replicate or closely mimic a sensory perception of a meat-based food product. This replication or mimicry is achieved by inclusion in the fungal food product of a heme-containing polypeptide that is mixed with fungal tissues present in the food product and/or synthesized by a genetically modified filamentous fungus of the food product. Methods of making such fungi and food products are also provided.
