1 Introduction The global demand for sustainable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly materials is accelerating [1]. Mycelia-based materials have emerged as promising alternatives to petrochemical-derived products that complement renewable plant and animal-based sources, due to their unique physicochemical and mechanical properties [2]. These attributes, combined with their low environmental footprint, position mycelia as ideal candidates for many applications.

1 Introduction The inevitable depletion of fossil fuel reserves and rising energy demands, coupled with environmental pollution, have driven the development of sustainable materials and technologies.[1, 2] Platinum (Pt), a precious transition metal, is particularly attractive due to its excellent electrical properties, outstanding catalytic activity and stability, and superior corrosion resistance.[3, 4] Pt remains a leading choice for important industrial reactions such as methanol...
