本論文は、菌糸体複合材料（MBC）を建築の断熱材として利用する可能性を系統的にレビューした。熱伝導率0.0404 W/m·Kの麻との複合材料が優れた断熱性能を示し、低密度、生分解性、再生可能原料の利用が可能である。ただし、標準化の欠如、湿気感受性、耐久性データの不足などの課題が実用化を妨げている。
English
This systematic review evaluates mycelium-based composites (MBCs) as insulation for carbon-neutral buildings. Mycelium-hemp composites show the best thermal conductivity (0.0404 W/m·K). MBCs offer low density, biodegradability, and renewable feedstocks, but lack of standardization, moisture sensitivity, and limited durability evidence hinder widespread adoption.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Due to the embodied effects of traditional insulation materials as well as the energy required for building operations, the construction industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions. Mycelium-based composites (MBCs) as bio-based insulation materials for carbon-neutral building-envelope applications are the focus of this study's methodical review. Several aspects are also investigated including how fungal species, substrate composition, reinforcement strategy and processing techniques affect performance, evaluating their thermal and specific functional properties, including durability-related behaviour and cost relevance, and evaluating their environmental potential, embodied carbon implications, and circular-economy relevance in comparison to traditional insulation materials. This paper discusses published research on MBCs' fabrication, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, durability-related constraints, circularity, embodied carbon and practical applicability using a PRISMA-based systematic review and life cycle assessment-oriented analytical framework. Results show that MBCs provide low density, biodegradability, the use of renewable feedstock and promising thermal performance. With a thermal conductivity of 0.0404 W/m·K, mycelium-hemp composites demonstrated the best insulating behaviour among the systems under consideration. The review also demonstrates that MBCs can help lower lifecycle carbon emissions, but the lack of standardization, moisture sensitivity, poor durability evidence and unclear large-scale cost-effectiveness continue to hinder their broader implementation. All things considered, MBCs exhibit great promise for semi-protected and non-load-bearing building-envelope insulation applications.
