$$$$

Description

1. The Material: Reishi™ is a premium, natural material that performs like traditional animal leather but is grown from mycelium. Through their patented Fine Mycelium™ process, the cellular structures of the fungi are engineered to interlock during growth, providing high tensile strength without the need for synthetic polyurethane (PU) reinforcements.

2. The Company: MycoWorks, based in California, partners with elite luxury brands (like Hermès) to replace heavily polluting bovine leather and plastic-based vegan leathers. Their commercial-scale factory ensures consistent, high-quality production with a fraction of the water and carbon footprint of traditional textiles.

3. Features:Zero Plastic Scrims: Unlike generic ‘vegan leathers’, Reishi doesn’t rely on PVC or PU backing.

Low Water Footprint: Uses significantly less water than cotton or animal leather.Customizable Growth: Thickness and texture can be tuned during the growth phase.
