  text: The pressing environmental challenges place significant constraints on resources,
    triggering the search for efficiency and performance characteristics in sustainable
    solutions. Mycelium-based composites (MBC) as biodegradable products and their
    diverse applications have the potential to replace conventional materials. Despite
    MBCs advantages, they remain not fully exploited in the construction sector due
    to their limited structural cap abilities. This research focuses on improving
    the structural performance of MBC by ing Mycelium and Natural Fiber-Reinforced
    Polymer (NFRP) as a material-efficient hybrid system. For reinforcement, a 2D
    wicker-lattice system is designed through custom robotic additive manufacturing
    processes guiding mycelium’s growth, improving its mechanical behavior, and eliminating
    the need for special formwork. A computationally optimized flow is used to inform
    material distribution, achieving efficient geometrical and structural formance.
    A slab panel is realized, showcasing the potential of this hybrid building system
    and expanding the use of bio-based composite materials in modular architecture
    applications.
