About MycoWorks
In 2013, co-founders Philip Ross and Sophia Wang formed MycoWorks, a San Francisco-based biomaterials company dedicated to bringing new mycelium materials to the world. MycoWorks’ patented Fine Mycelium technology, an advanced manufacturing platform and breakthrough in materials science, engineers mycelium during growth to form proprietary, interlocking cellular structures for unparalleled strength and durability.
The narrator of this video is really good...he deserves to have his name added to the video description/information. Great voice and excellent delivery.
I’m proud to say my Son works for this Company here in the Bay Area
MycoWorks just opened a new facility in Union South Carolina
The first of its kind in the Country
It’s quite fascinating to say the least
Wow! I mean just wow!
This is actually very revolutionary and also needs so much more exposure!
How does this channel has so much less subscribers and likes.
They kinda glossed over an important part, does it need additional processing to become leather or is it ready out of the tray? The leather industry has been a pollution problem for millennia….literally
Roman’s had designated areas for tanneries due to the smell and over nasty byproducts.
They have to kill the fungus, right. I don’t need my coat growing and casting off spores in my closet.
So many questions.
Is it ready out of the tray? Or does it require additional processing to become leather.
What’s the environmental impact of that process?
The fungus stays dead, right? It’s not going to suddenly start to grow in my closet?
Can ppl with mushroom allergies use this product?
Yes there is some kind of processing, as you can see in this video by them ruclips.net/video/GCE6uuHegF8/видео.html
Probably some kind of drying + coating. This should also kill the fungus, so it probably won't start growing again.
As far as I know in most cases mushroom allergies come the spores, not the mushroom itself, so it should be fine
@ I work in a restaurant. Rest assured ppl are allergic to more than just spores. Cooking them doesn’t change that
How about the breathability? It may isn't important for accessoire stuff, but when used for clothing or seating furniture, it is a key feature to be able to transmit moisture.
Intellectual ☕😂
My guess is: Since it is still a woven type of structure and finished very much the same as leather it maintains a similar wicking capability as well as the ability to be waterproofed. It can also be grown to different specifications depending on the intended application.
Is my sweat and biological debris going to reactivate the fungus?
No, the organics are dead after being processed and conditioned.
However, same as real leather or faux leather and vinyl it would still be capable of growing mold if left in a humid and contaminated environment similar to car interiors and apartments that can get moldy.
Are you joking? Leather takes hours to breathe. Synthetic fabrics breathe in seconds. That's why people don't wear brogues in the summer.
Any one remember in the 60's DuPont came out with Corfam? It was a huge failure that took almost a decade to die adding to the misery. The leather-like product made by MycoWorks unlike DuPont's Corfam is based on a natural organic fiber. I would think this has promise.
Hello, how can we purchase?? I'm deeply interested in the mushroom fabrics
hey! did you find out anything about how to purchase the mycelium leather?
Has anyone figured out how to get 1 or 2 yards ?
@@valeriarovatkay4128 did you get any answers back?
May i suggest investigating Oyster mushroom leather?
Cheaper, fast grower, straw based substrate, aggressive colonizer, temperature friendly (he doesn't need freezer shocks).
And agaricus bisporus leather
I mean.... Reishi grows preferably on hard wood substrates, which demands huge quantities of woodchips from trees to grow... There are possibilities for reishi mycelium to thrive in straw based substrates which need nutritional additions...
Oyster mushroom instead can grow also on plastics!!!
Is this how the “Last of Us” starts?
We start wearing the cordyceps
Show us how it is done
Visiting Florida soon for some leather🐊 hopefully their will be a shop with some samples
What's the long-term affect of being around this material health wise?
I doubt it's much if any, it's dead mushroom fibres
Does it have any of the pleasing characteristics of fruit leather?
Already predicted as a subspace transportation network on Star Trek Discovery 🤣
Cheers
This is a vapid and empty video. No substance at all. You show that material testing equipment exists and then present zero testing with it. What a waste of time.
I agree. Show us the testing data! How does this product compare in strength and durability to real leather. How does it react to water? Does it sew well? 🐝🐝
How about the mold growth when you contain foods? specially at the humid and wet conditions?
This will certainly save millions of life one-day Inshallah..best wishes
Love 💕 for all...tnx
Yeah, because if there's one thing the Earth needs, it's 3 billion more cows!
...but how does it taste with cheese & pepperoni on a pizza ...
!🇨🇦
Always one troll who can't give up the idea of abusing animals. And the other side of that coin is that he doesn't care about the environment. Self identifier.
holad makes leather like material with mango pulp.
i like it
Can't wait until they start making mushroom steel.
❤❤❤
There's no such thing as "mushroom leather." It's *_mushroom-based, industrial pseudo-leather._*
🤓 "um actually there is no such thing as fruit leather its just mashed up dried fruit 🤓🤓🤓🤓" People can call things what ever they want nobody owns the right to the word leather
Do you also protest about "peanut butter" when you're making a sandwich?
Who cares about the semantics; if they can dye it black and I can wear a jacket made out of the stuff and it looks bad ass- that’s all that matters.
I'm sure you guys aren't gonna ghost with investor money like every single other eco technology company, right?
I think they went under.
Nope!!!!
@@buinessname1249 oh good. why did they auction off their entire Berkley plant, which I bought some stuff from? I really hope they are still around. I love what they do.
