A better analogy might be with cellulose insulation; they are both
organic . As such, they are subject to decay, where inorganics
(fiberglass and rockwool) are not.<br>
Presumably, the de-activation treatment prevents reactivation of the
mold by exposure to water but there are other molds which will
digest molds.<br>
<br>
It seems likely that the same precautions and limitations for
cellulose may apply to mycelium insulation.<br>

I was curious about their bold statements when they
first stared their publicity releases. I asked if the
insulation was water proof or at-least water resistant,
the reply was NO. So their statements that it would
replacement EPS is a BIG lie, but I already surmised
that.</div>

short while back someone posted something
about a new use for mushrooms. I meant to
respond to what sounds like a
wonderful/intriguing new technology. I had
earlier read of a startup company that had
developed a technology using mushrooms as an
alternative to plastic. Apparently the
business actually got going a couple years
ago. I inquired about investing in their
business, me thinking this is one of the few I
hear about that really makes sense. But they
are private only.<br>
