Characterisation of Mycelium-Based Biomaterials Derived from Diverse Mushroom Species for Sustainable Applications.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mushroom mycelium-based biomaterials are eco-friendly, biodegradable, cheap, and sustainable materials. In this study, ten wild mushroom species were collected from tropical forests in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces, and two commercial mushroom species were obtained from a local market in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Mushroom specimens were identified based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. All fungal species were determined to use suitable agar media (potato dextrose agar; malt extract agar), liquid media (malt extract broth), and agricultural substrate (rubber sawdust size ≤ 2 mm) for mushroom mycelial growth. Mechanical property evaluation using Ashby's chart indicated that the resulting mushroom mycelium-based biomaterials have the potential to substitute for certain types of synthetic foam. A biodegradability test was conducted through soil burial of samples for 90 days, which demonstrated cumulative weight loss exceeding 60%, thereby confirming biodegradability. Furthermore, a new approach for maintaining mycelial viability was developed and validated, addressing the challenge of maintaining vigorous mycelium. Notably, this study presents the first comprehensive report on the application of
