As featured in our video, the hidden network beneath our feet—mycelium—isn't just connecting forests; it's poised to revolutionize industries.
Mycomaterials are engineered composites created by feeding agricultural waste (like corn husks or sawdust) to specific strains of mycelium.
In days, the mycelium grows, acting as a natural, self-assembling glue, binding the waste into a solid, durable material.
This biocomposite can be molded into virtually any shape.
Why it Matters: Unlike plastics, mycomaterials are 100% biodegradable and compostable.
They require minimal energy to produce and can actually sequester carbon.
From sustainable packaging that replaces Styrofoam to "mushroom leather" (Mylo™) used by major fashion brands, and even fire-resistant building bricks, fungi offer a viable path away from petroleum-based products.
This is the circular economy in action, powered by the MycoVerse.
