Fomes fomentarius

Fomes fomentarius is the fungus identified by Filip Amtislavski in Mushrooms could help curb plastic waste as common across Arctic and subarctic regions. The source says its physical feel and sound resemble polystyrene foam enough to make it a useful starting point for Mycelium Insulation research.

In the wiki, Fomes fomentarius is a material-species node. The source connects it to Alaska / 阿拉斯加, University of Alaska research, and the larger question of whether biological binding can produce Biodegradable Foam Packaging that works in real Seafood Cold-Chain Packaging.
