    Mycelium is the part of fungus consisting of a mass of branching thread like hyphae. It makes up the body of the fungus living on a particular substrate. Mycelium when dried can be a strong material which can be water, fire and mold resistant. Mycologist Philip Ross found out that dried mycelium can be grown and used for making building blocks. These mycelium bricks are organic and compostable. Their consistency is also stronger than concrete bricks. These mycelium bricks can be painted. These are bulletproof and can withstand extreme temperatures. When their use is over they can be composted therefore, biodegradable and does not harm nature in anyway. Hence, they are eco-friendly. Their durability and strong structural construct can be used for replacing them with other chemically synthesized building material. A five year plan with eco-friendly mycelium bricks can result when fungus mycelium bricks is considered only mandatory material for building construction purpose. Some durable and high tensile strength material if added in them can improve their quality provided that they are completely compostable.
