Researches from the university in Linz (Austria) are producing mushroom PCBs. :)

Excellent. Fibreglass is horrible for recycling. I hope they can get adequate performance.

Fibreglass isn't a big deal. It's the resin part, which can't be recycled. Phenolic paper is often used for cheaper boards, which also can't be recycled.

The problem is finding something with good enough thermal, electrical and mechanical properties, which is either recyclable or biodegradable.
