Abstract
Using renewable resources to create polymeric materials is one of the ways to achieve sustainable development goals. The currently used hydrocarbon-based plastics decompose over a long time, accumulating and causing environmental pollution. One way to solve the problem of plastic waste is to develop polymers based on plant materials. Mycopolymers are completely biodegradable polymers consisting of lingo-cellulose particles. Mycelia of xylotrophic basidiomycetes are the binding component. The resulting material can be used as insulation, packaging, or in the manufacture of interior items and furniture. The following xylotrophic agaricomycetes were studied in the work, Pleurotus eryngii, P. ostreatus, Trametes hirsuta, T. versicolor, T. pubescens, T. ochracea, Phellinus igniarius, Fomitopsis pinicola, F. betulina, Ganoderma lucidum, G. applanatum, Fomes fomentarius and two types of substrates based on wood waste Populus tremula and Betula pendula. The most durable mycopolymers were obtained on the basis of Ganoderma applanatum and F. fomentarius.
