Comparison of novel fungal mycelia strains and sustainable growth substrates to produce humidity-resistant biocomposites (2020, background): “12 presence of chitin in the fungal cell wall has been suggested to provide mechanical strength to mycelium composites, as chitin is aggregated into fibrils that decrease the crack formation during compression and support the material structure [9, 40].”
