The technology that shapes our future may just be found in mushroom mycelium.

I discovered this amazing website and must share this revolutionary technology with you.

Mycoworks is a revolutionary kickstart company that converts mushroom mycelium into Leather

They have created a new kind of leather that's simply grown rapidly from a mix of mycelium and agricultural byproducts in a carbon negative process.
Their custom engineered material is sustainable, biodegradable, versatile, and animal free.
Best of all, they say it feels and performs just like leather!

They can even grow textures and other features right into the material.
Unlike animal skins, the materials can be grown to nearly any shape or size.
They have even managed to grow mycelium bricks!, maybe this is the future and the title says it all.

I totally agree with you @seveaux 😊

It is much easier to grow mushrooms than to raise fully grown cows. I'm all for more environmentally friendly consumer options!

The wonderful thing they can add is texture or features to the grown medium, this coulx bever be done with leather. I am closley following this company and wait in anticipation........
