| Summary (own words) | Insulation boards of Trametes versicolor on hemp shives, birch sawdust, waste paper fibres and birch sanding dust (three variants each, partly with wheat bran, birch bark or a co-substrate). Density, bending strength (EN 12089), thermal conductivity (ISO 8301) and reaction to fire in the cone calorimeter (35 kW/m²) were tested. Hemp gave λ ≈ 40 mW/(m·K); all variants had a much lower peak heat release than EPS/XPS; birch bark worsened fire behaviour. |
| Notes on data extraction | Taken from Table 2 (n = 5) and Table 3 (n = 4). Density converted from g/cm³ to kg/m³. Thermal conductivity per variant only in Fig. 6 – group values from the text are in the experiment notes. Comparison values in the paper (literature): XPS TTI 5 s / pHRR 423 kW/m²; EPS TTI 29 s / pHRR 377 kW/m². |
