Corn-based electrical insulators proved problematic in cars due to rodents eating the tasty insulators. Something to check in testing this material. Mycelium based construction materials may be more beneficial due to fire resistance, insulation and excellent R values and relative unpalatability. Ecovative is a good place to learn about this (no personal affiliations, just a fan.)
