The author would like to thank HempFlax B.V. in Oude Pekela, The Netherlands for kindly providing the hemp materials. Also Professor Hans Wösten of Utrecht University is thanked for sharing his considerable knowledge in mycology.
Willem Velthoven and all the staff at Mediamatic, Amsterdam are thanked for their support and ideas.
Lastly the author is very grateful to Maurizio Montalti for providing excellent advice on mycelium-based materials and his outstanding view on bio-mycelium-based materials in general.
