- Mycelium is an emerging decarbonized building material due to its sustainability, biodegradability, and strength. It is cultivated by growing fungal networks, also known as mushrooms. Mycelium-based products can be used for insulation, bricks, and packaging.
Today, we have a ClimateTech Entrepreneur making waves with Mycelium. Ilya is CEO & Co-Founder of COMU Labs, bridging the gap between sustainability and affordability in furniture materials. They utilize fungi to transform agricultural waste into robust, machinable and fire-retardant material that looks and behaves like plywood.
Some of what we chatted about:
**How Mycelium can be pressed into high-density boards
**Why their material is substrate agnostic (and what the heck that means 🤔)
**Challenges that still exist with market acceptance
**Building a sustainable and healthy company culture
& more. 🍄
