MYCOWORKS - REISHI

Overview:
”Exclusive to MycoWorks, the Fine Mycelium process creates the interlocking, cellular structures that give Reishi its inherent strength and durability. Unlike “mushroom leather” (compressed mycelium) or traditional leather, Reishi is custom-grown to finely tune for fullness and the highest performance standards”.

Ingredient information:
Reishi, which is a fine mycelium, is made from the renewable root structure of the mushroom (fungi). This structure is used to make customisable material that feels similar to animal leather.

Sustainability credentials:
Fine Mycelium is carbon-neutral, can be grown to order and provides a sustainable option for manufacturers seeking durable accessories made from long-lasting material. Reishi is grown from waste, and because fungus needs dark, mild temperatures, the factories have a low energy cost.

Application and use:
Reishi can be grown into exact shapes — like a bucket bag or a pair of loafers — the process also yields little to no waste.
