# Mycelium materials

The Mycelium examples in the Lab biomaterial archive have been made using the hemp substrate [**Grow It Yourself Kit**](https://www.grown.bio/product/grow-kit-hemp-substrate/) by the Dutch company Grown Bio, a ready-to-go bag of mycelium inoculated hemp fibres that is easy to use and to mold into shape. It is expensive though, so at Lab we have started creating our own mycelium spawn jars, which will be ready for you to use by the new school year (2021/22). Are you interested in learning a lot more about mycelium materials, how they can be created and used artistically? Scroll down for an excellent Fabricademy video tutorial!
