I helped a guy build a ferrocement house in the early 70s. It came out good.
I don't know if this will work. You want the papercrete to be outside of a ferrocement skin and then cement over that?
Growing mycelium is not that easy. I might work but you have to be able to kill the mycelium to keep it from eating all the paper. I have seen this new product before. I didn't see that they tell you what type of mycelium they use. It's an interesting idea but it may be hard or impossible to pull off. I think you need really controlled conditions to do what they do and I don't think this qualifies.
Oyster mushrooms are somewhat easy to grow and aggressive. They will digest the paper if they go on too long. This structure is a dome or zome?
