Claims

OCR06WT1. Bio-composite material from mushroom fibers mixed with adhesive material for molding workpieces has the following characteristics: a. Selected mushroom culture from either liquid culture or agar culture, or both combined 0.1-20% by weight b. Mushroom growing medium 4-40% by weight c. Adhesive material (5) which can be selected from sawdust, rice straw, corn stalks, corn cobs, rice husks, water hyacinth, coconut fiber, coconut coir, palm fiber, palm coir, any other material containing coconut as an ingredient or any other material containing palm as an ingredient, jute, pineapple, 1. Leaf litter, paper, or any other material containing paper as a component; mushroom mycelium that grows in a mesh-like structure adhering to agricultural waste materials, one or more of these combined, totaling 10-90% by weight.

2. Reinforcing and porous-enhancing materials selected from fabrics made from petroleum chemical compounds, natural fibers, natural fibers that are spherical and have moisture-absorbing properties, petroleum fibers, polyester fibers, or compressed beads, one or more of these combined, totaling 1-75% by weight.Biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with a binder for molding into parts according to Patent 1, where the process of cultivating mushrooms on the biocomposite material mixed with reinforcing and porous fibers involves the following steps: mushroom spawn, mushroom growing medium, binder, reinforcing and porous material are mixed and thoroughly blended, then sterilized by heat under pressure to obtain a layer of biocomposite material. This is then placed in a sterilized mold, the mold is sealed, and the mycelium is incubated with heat and humidity control until the mushroom mycelium grows and fills the mold. The material is then removed from the mold and heat-treated to obtain the biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with reinforcing and porous fibers. 3.Bio-composite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with adhesive for molding into any one of the claims 1-2, where the mushroom mycelium, mushroom growing medium, adhesive, reinforcing and porosity enhancing material are mixed and thoroughly blended, then sterilized by heat under pressure to obtain a layer of bio-composite material, and at least one layer of bio-composite material is arranged by placing it in a sterilized mold consisting of the first bio-composite material (1), the second bio-composite material (2), the third bio-composite material (3), the fourth bio-composite material (4), closing the mold and compressing it with a hydraulic press and incubating it with heat and humidity controlled at 50-90% Celsius until the mushroom mycelium grows and fills the mold, then removing it from the mold and drying it to obtain a layered bio-composite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with waste fibers.

4. Bio-composite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with adhesive for molding into any one of the claims 1, where the mushroom mycelium cultivation process consists of a. mushroom mycelium, b.C. Mushroom culture medium. D. Mushroom growing medium. E. Cereal grains. The mushroom mycelium is obtained from mature mushrooms that are cut into pieces and transferred onto the mushroom culture medium. The mycelium is then allowed to fully colonize the container, resulting in either a liquid culture or an agar culture. The mushroom culture medium uses a PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) formula that has been mixed with water, sterilized at high temperature under pressure, and amoxycillin is added. The solution is stirred until it is a homogeneous mixture to create a complete PDA culture medium. The mushroom growing medium can be selected from rice bran, lime flour, or any other material containing lime, or plant supplements, either individually or in combination. Cereal grains can be selected from rice grains, rice straw, wheat, oats, bird food grains, or other cereal grains, either individually or in combination.

5. Biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with a binder for molding into parts according to claim 4, which involves the following first mushroom cultivation procedure:The mushroom mycelium is obtained by cutting pieces of the mature mushroom fruiting body and transferring them onto a culture medium. The mycelium is then allowed to fully colonize the container, resulting in either a liquid culture or an agar culture. Alternatively, the grains can be soaked in water and soaked until almost fully cooked. The grains are then sterilized using heat under pressure. Finally, the fully grown mycelium from step a is sprayed with alcohol. Then, either the liquid culture or the agar culture (or both) are added to the grains as described in step b, and the container is sealed. Seal tightly to prevent contamination from external microorganisms. Leave to allow the mushroom mycelium to grow, resulting in mushroom mycelium growing on cereal grains.

6. Biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with a binder for molding into parts according to claim 4, which involves the following second mushroom cultivation steps: a. Mushroom mycelium is obtained from mature mushroom fruiting bodies that have been sliced. b. Soak the cereal grains in water and boil them until almost cooked. Sterilize them using heat under pressure. c. Spray the mushroom mycelium from step a with alcohol, then inoculate the cereal grains from step b.Then close the container tightly to prevent contamination from external microorganisms and leave it to grow so that the mushroom mycelium will grow on cereal grains.

7. Biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with adhesive material for forming workpieces according to any one of claims 1-6, in which the container in the mold at the edges of the biocomposite material contains other material (6) to connect other material (6) to form a single module by means of mushroom cultivation in biocomposite material and to make the biocomposite material contain other material (6) and form a single structure.

8. Biocomposite material from mushroom mycelium mixed with adhesive material for forming workpieces according to claim 7, in which it is such that a. the biocomposite material encloses other material (6) inside, or b. other material (6) encloses the biocomposite material inside, or c. other material (6) and biocomposite material are connected at the side edges;
