Mycelium Growth and Structural Compression Datasets

This repository contains a dataset for monitoring mycelium growth, including images, geometrical parametres and structural testing data. The dataset was created as part of a thesis project within the Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research ITECH MSc. Program at the University of Stuttgart in 2023.
