Produces sustainable mycelium-based leather alternative

About MycoWorks

MycoWorks produces a leather alternative called Reishi™, made from mycelium, which is a part of fungus. This material is designed to be sustainable and is appealing to fashion brands and designers seeking eco-friendly options. Reishi™ has already been used in luxury products, such as handbags and hats. The company has recently expanded its operations by opening a large facility in South Carolina, which is the first commercial-scale plant dedicated to producing Fine Mycelium™. This expansion reflects MycoWorks' commitment to meeting the increasing demand for sustainable materials in the fashion industry. Unlike traditional leather, Reishi™ offers a more environmentally friendly choice without compromising on quality. MycoWorks aims to capture a significant share of the growing leather goods market, which is projected to reach over $720 billion by 2030.
