Remover of mycelial stains

Abstract

The fungi remove dirt by using their ability to hold and contract the substrate with their hyphae, allowing them to lie dormant. [Solution] Spray water containing dissolved mycelium to make it fall off in flakes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dirt removal method using mycelium.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0002] Utilize the effect of contracting the substrate during the latency of fungal mycelium to remove dirt.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0003] Spray water in which fungal mycelium with the action of condensing and peeling off dirt is dissolved, so that the dirt falls off in flakes.

Effects of the Invention

[0004] Dirt can be easily removed (although there is a waiting time). Forms for Implementing the Invention

[0005] Specify to spray a suspension of bacteria with the effect of growing mycelium into dirt, holding and contracting it, and making it fall off in flakes, and then wait.

[0006] In some cases, the dirt and the surface may be regarded as a single entity and adhered. Test the bacterial species and conditions to find an appropriate one.

[0007] For cultivated edible mushrooms, it seems that they generally contract the substrate and separate from the smooth surface. It is conceivable to wrap the sawdust with a non-woven fabric or the like and shake it in a floating state, etc.

[0008] Even when the surface and the dirt are adhered, since the connection of the mycelium is strong, it seems that it can be peeled off by pulling the one that has become substantially membranous.

[0009] It is considered better to aim for before night or rainy days and keep it moisturized to a certain extent.

[0010] When the concentration of the bacterial solution is increased, the spreading is also improved, and a synergistic effect with the amount of mycelium is expected.

[0011] Even solidified oil and other deposits may be treatable, depending on the type of bacteria used and the conditions.

[0012] It can be used in intricate areas, and the loosened material can be blown away with compressed air.

[0013] The simplest possible application is cleaning mud off agricultural vehicles.

[0014] Adding surfactants that promote peeling, spreading, and penetration may also be considered.

[0015] Frozen concentrated suspensions are also a possibility.

Claims

1. A solution of mycelium dissolved in water that can be sprayed onto stains to remove them.

2. Among the items described in claim 1 above, an item used for removing mud from an agricultural vehicle.

3. A substance that falls under claim 1 above, with the addition of a surfactant.
