Have this mtrl installed on some of the walls in the basement. What is it called? Is it a type of insulation or?
It's not a good mtrl to attach things to, plugs don't hold, etc.
The inspector suggested during the inspection that it should all be torn down immediately, he said it was a bad mtrl, is it?
What should be used instead? Basement walls, both above and below ground...

Thank you! Yes, one has heard about that...
So no worries, then. But according to their website, it's not something usually on the walls, right?
Anyone with any ideas on what can be done, remove it, put a better board on top (need to be able to hang things)?

It is wood wool board, very common in e.g. 1950s houses as insulation inside the basement. For fastening, you can attach battens (in the basement, for example, made of metal) with longer fasteners that reach through the wood wool into the underlying masonry wall, which may be made of concrete block or similar. An inorganic board can be mounted on these battens. You can drill in long expanders for mounting with.
