Extended Data Fig. 1: Mycelium growth within hydrogel grid.

From: Three-dimensional printing of mycelium hydrogels into living complex materials

Extended Data Fig. 1

(A, B) Optical microscopy images of a cross-sectional cut of a 3D grid printed from an ink containing 10% malt extract concentration. The images show the mycelium growth on the surface of the ink. (C) Estimated volume of the mycelium layer grown on agar hydrogels. The volume was calculated from the radius and thickness of the grown mycelium network (Fig. 2B). (D) Scanning electron microscopy images showing the freeze-dried structure of mycelium grown on a printed hydrogel filament. The images shown in (A,B,D) are representatives of a series of 3 equal experiments.
