Figure 5. Local variations in nutrients in a 3D complex structure guides the growth and foraging behavior of mycelium from P. ostreatus and G. lucidum.
(A) 3D-printed substrates inoculated with P. ostreatus and G. lucidum, respectively, with stacked zones containing varying concentrations of malt and
peptone. Different fungal strains (G. lucidum and P. ostreatus) and nutrient contents were used. Scale bars: 20 mm. (B) Fabrication of textured mycelium
surfaces by using multi-material 3D printing. Different fungal strains (G. lucidum and P. ostreatus) and nutrient contents were used. Scale bars: 20 mm.
