ECOVATIVE - FORAGER

Overview: 
”From nature, flexible and durable, Forager hides are an intelligent material composed of mycelium and free of synthetics. Through bench-scale research, Evocative have carefully selected specific mushroom species for their leather-like properties and domesticated them in some of the world's largest aerial mycelium farms, allowing them to grow yards of supple vegan hide at industrial scale”.

Ingredient information:
Forager hides are a grown, vegan and earth-friendly mycelium hide free of polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Sustainability credentials:
Forager represents a solution to the environmental costs of plastics, animal agriculture, and other common unsustainable practises. Fungi grow on agricultural byproducts, and after their use is through, convert back to nutrients that power the soil — making mycelium a genuinely circular, sustainable material.

Application and use:
Mycelium is incredibly resilient, with many other valuable qualities. Forager can match or exceed technical and performance markers for specific applications in the apparel, fashion, and automotive industries.
