Fungi-Based

Ecovative uses mycelium, the vegetative root structure of mushrooms, as a binder for regionally sourced non-food agricultural waste. These materials combine to make a bio-based alternative to plastic foam packaging and insulation materials. MycoComposite is biodegradable, naturally flame resistant, and water resistant, and Cradle to Cradle Gold Certified.

This leather is grown rapidly from mycelium and agricultural by-products in a carbon-negative process. Mycelium Leather is strong, flexible, and durable, just like conventional leathers. It is also water-resistant. And since it's made from natural fibers, it breathes and feels like leather.

Mylo™ is a material made from mycelium, the underground root structure of mushrooms. Grown under carefully controlled conditions to produce a substrate that can be cured and tanned into a soft, supple material that looks and feels like leather.

GrowSquares operates under a simple philosophy: don’t put anything in your garden you wouldn’t put in your body. This ethos resonates throughout their products and ensures every item they deliver is made up entirely of 100% organic materials, all specifically designed to improve the growth of their plants. Simply place your squares on your selected location and follow the app’s personalized instructions as it guides you through the gardening process.

The mushroom-based scaffold is not only engineered to decompose, but it's biodegradation enriches both plants and soil by stimulating the development of microorganisms and improving soil moisture retention. The more you use GrowSquares, the better your soil becomes, as it allows for a greater variety of plants with each use.

Ecovative’s Atlast applies the latest developments in mycelium manufacturing to create a self-assembling 3D scaffolding for use in food and tissue engineering.

Mycelium, a natural and edible material, provides an ideal structure to build upon when making plant- and cell-based foods.

Ecovative controls this structure during the short 9 day growing period. Atlast’s structure allows for the creation of whole cuts of “meat”, an alternative to existing plant-based “meats” that are sold in ground form.

MycoFlex, made by Ecovative, is a foam product made entirely from mycelium.

This high-performance foam can be used in a variety of applications, including textiles, footwear, technical wear, and beauty.

Because it is a natural material, MycoFlex is a completely biodegradable alternative to polyurethane foams. Its strength is comparable to conventional foams, and it provides superior insulation and heat resistance.
