The study on bio-boards by Monica Leslie explores the construction and testing of myco-composites. Key challenges include inconsistent density and hardness, making them unsuitable for home-scale production without controlled environments. Despite these issues, the study suggests potential for future casting applications.

2. Purpose of the Study

3. BIO-Boards

5. Construction
Basics
Measured on Mohs Scale

24. CONCLUSION
Mushroom sample:
• Heavier Weight
• Compression variables in Hardness
Testing
• Difficulty acquiring consistent density,
thickness, etc.
• Not suitable for Home Scale
• Needs Controlled, Sterile
Environment
• Further Lab Testing
• Does have Potential for Future
Casting Applications
