| Summary (own words) | Trametes versicolor was grown on five fibre types (hemp, flax, flax waste, pine, wheat straw) in different processing states (loose, chopped, dust, pre-compressed, tow). The study measured dry density, shrinkage, compressive modulus, thermal conductivity, capillary water absorption and FTIR. Fibre processing affected stiffness more than fibre type; chopped hemp reached λ = 0.0404 W/(m·K). |
| Notes on data extraction | Taken from Table 2 (density, moisture, shrinkage), Table 3 (λ), Table 4 (water absorption) and the text (compressive moduli). Not included: flax dust (FD), loose straw (SL) and straw dust (SD) – insufficient growth or contamination; FTIR results are qualitative only. |
