A mycelium rocket, consisting of mycelium grown on a substrate within a void of a mould, when fired with a propellant creates a silicon-rich char which can withstand high temperatures subjected to it from normal operations while losing minimal density. This allows for a completely reusable mycelium-based homegrown biorocket. This is then kiln fired to cause the calcium oxalate within the mycelium to undergo a chemical reaction and cause the material to become a ceramic.
