Zusammenfassung:A method of growing an extra-particle aerial mycelium employs electrostatically charged mist to control mist deposition uniformity in a growth environment, and on a growth matrix (or growing extra-particle aerial mycelium on a growth matrix) comprising nutritive substrate and a fungus in a growth environment with a predetermined environment of humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Control of mist deposition by electrostatically charging mist allows for control of the morphology and uniformity of the extra-particle aerial mycelium produced, independent of airflow uniformity, growth environment size, and structural obstacles that may be present within a growth environment. Control of mist deposition by electrostatically charging mist also offers the potential for targeted mist application where it might be needed most for fungal organism growth.
