Mycelium is a natural, self-assembling glue, digesting crop waste to produce cost-competitive and environmentally responsible materials that perform. Unlike plastics, which come from unsustainable petrochemicals, Mushroom Materials start with plant-based farm waste and can end up in your garden, fully compostable.

For design and packaging purposes. Ecovative is a material science company developing a new class of home-compostable bioplastics based on mycelium, a living organism.
