There is an increased need to find sustainable building materials for the construction industry as we are growing through global warming, eradication of natural resources, fossil fuels. We need building materials that consumes less energy in their life cycle process. One of the contemporary and most budding are the mycelium brick. A mycelium brick is an organic brick that is found from organic waste and the mycelium of fungus. . the outgrowth of Mycelium are the thin root-like fibers from fungi which run underneath the ground, when dried it can be consumed as a super strong, water, mould , fire-resistant building material .it will grows at room temperature. It feeds on natural local feedstock like husk wheat, corn stock, etc., and it can be naturally developed into a fibrous hardened block of Mycelium material. intergrating such natural organism behavior as innovations in architecture and design will provide a new approach to composite materials, moving towards a more imperishable future. These fibers are transferred into the layer,let it to grow for few days. Its fibers are further condensed into a mould to form a brick. This brick is burnt to get a strong green building material called Mycelium brick.it has more compressive strength then concrte brick,which is quite good point for converting for myseillum bricks

Mycelium bricks, Mycelium fungus, Termite,fire,water,resitant,rigid than oridinary concrte bricks,root like fibre grows on room temperature
