Unbelievable special skin made entirely from ... mushrooms!

In the future, it is possible that animal and synthetic leather products will be completely 'overshadowed' by a completely new leather material with a range of outstanding properties, and the most unexpected thing is It is made from . mushroom!

The type of material mentioned above is called 'Myco'. This is a product developed by 'Bolt Thread'. It is especially in that the material used to replace this animal skin is made entirely from mushrooms, but more specifically from the fungal system .

Material used to replace this animal skin is made entirely from mushrooms.

In order for you to better understand, this fiber system is the vegetative organ of the mushroom , growing underground in the substrate: soil, wood . The fiber system is responsible for absorbing nutrients and fruiting bodies (the parts that they we use it for cooking or medicinal) is actually the reproductive organ and is grown from this fiber system.

To produce Myco, mycelia will be cultured on a substrate where corn stalks are mixed with nutrients. After hyphae grow in sufficient quantities, they will undergo treatment with chemicals similar to 'tanning' ; Next the mushroom is compressed into sheets; finally, the stage to cut the garment into a product is a handbag or other kind of outfit.

Myco also shows superiority when placed on a scale table with synthetic skin types.

Products made from Myco not only have softness, elasticity and ability to apply decorative patterns like real leather but they even possess more superior properties.

Specifically, the Myco production process will consume less water and produce less waste and greenhouse gases than real leather. Even this material is more durable than the traditional version.

Myco also shows superiority when placed on a scale table with synthetic skin types. Because it has absolutely no toxic and biodegradable by-products. Meanwhile, synthetic leather is made of Polyurethane with many other toxic chemicals. In addition, we also easily see that the material derived from this plastic is also not environmentally friendly.
