A review of the material and mechanical properties of select Ganoderma fungi structures as a source for bioinspiration

Debora Lyn Porter et al.

Summary: This study describes three characteristic structures of Ganoderma fungi and their structural and mechanical properties: the layered sporocarp structure, the filamentous networks created by vegetative mycelia, and the double-walled spore. The porous and layered structure of the Ganoderma sporocarp provides lightweight and mechanically tough properties, which could be applied in aerospace materials. The Ganoderma mycelia networks, with their three different types of constitutive filaments, offer better mechanical properties and can be used as natural binders or textiles in engineering applications. The reinforced walls and porous structure of Ganoderma spores provide excellent mechanical strength regardless of the load orientation, which could be inspiring for the development of energy storage materials.
