Pure mycelium leather growth tutorial | The Purhyphae Project

- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2022
- For my final project at Fabricademy barcelona, FabLab BCN, I explored ways of upcycling textile waste and making natural textiles using fungi and more especially their mycelium. This video is a tutorial on how to make a composite mycelium-textile composite, using textile waste as a substrate for the mycelium growth.
This tutorial explains how to make the pure mycelium leather step by step in a DIY way, accessible to all, hoping people can make their own textiles more sustainably.
For more informations on growth conditions and mycelium culture, you can:

What an amazing research project and video. The world is a better place with this knowledge available , THANKYOU
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I appreciate your kindness and help.
Hi! Your project is wonderful. I am working on a similar project and would appreciate if you could explain the process of preparing the mycelium.
Hey this is so freaking cool. Thanks for sharing this!
Wow incredible, keep up with great work and innovations!
Cool, thanks for sharing!
Wish you the projects develop easily!
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much 💚🥇
Awesome stuff ❤
WOW Amazing
Thank you
Amazing. With a large shallow glass disk, you can harvest a larger piece of mushroom faux leather that you can heatpress to texture, dye and stitch.
What type of mushroom is used?
Incredible! It would be a good idea to make a video on how to make leather from mycelium
Congratulations for the project and thanks for sharing. May I ask, what is the brand/model of your heat press machine? Thank you again!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! It would be great if you can make a video on how to make cactus leather at home

If I wanted to do this say on a 3x scale, would I just triple the recipe? Would I need a larger incubator or can it fold during incubation?
Thanks for sharing! Could you, please, advise where to get that reishi mycelium from?
very informative and truly beautiful! thsnk you so much for your sharings. 🌸
can i ask you if the process would still work without an incubator or it is a must ?
thank youu so much 🌝
How long do you think this material would take to decompose?
Do you think it’s strong enough to use it in a furniture piece ?
Thank you for making the video. I am interested in chemistry/mushrooms/biology.
I have some questions:
why is regular water not okay, why do we need distilled water?
what would be the alternative to reishi mycellium and what else can we use? Do we prefer wood or hummus growing mushrooms?
Micropore Filter is 100% neccesary? Will the mycellium stop growing if there is to much Co2 in the jar?
How probably is contamination? You transfered the agar piece into the jar without a glovebox for example and exposed it to all the spores/bacteria in the air...
How much pressure was applied to the biomaterial in the hot press?
In this video what kind of mushroom did you use?
Where do you get the mycelium from? Could you make a video on it?
Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing :) what would you recommend for a larger surface leather piece?
Exactly the same with a larger container than a jar. But be careful of the sterile conditions!
I appreciate the video, thank you for releasing this information for free. but 4 layers of micropore is an overkill i think. In my experience i have always used 1 layer without contamination.
I should try it next times! Thanks !
Hello!! I'm doing my graduation project at the university and I need the advice of a person who has experience in growing mycelium leather. Could you answer a couple of my questions, please? I will be very grateful.
how much it can cost
that looks like a scoby! i wonder if you could use them instead! old scobies could be used for this purpose if you dehydrate them. they only need water and sugar and tea to grow. for those that do not know scoby is used as the mother for making kombucha. make a refreshing drink and look fashionable.
Love this video, must have watched it at least 10 times. May I ask, what is the brand/model of your incubator? I'm building a low-tech mycology lab at home and all of my searches for incubators lead me to pricey high-tech results. Thank you
Thank you very much, these kinds of comment mean a lot to me! It is a reptile eggs incubator, that must have costed like 125€ on VEVOR, but you can find it for cheaper if you buy it second hand!
@@aos_studio Hi there! Thanks for this awesome video! It forms the basis of my upcoming PhD research on mycelium. Really grateful for it. I have a question: Did you not control the humidity in the incubator? Is it not necessary?
@@zophie5554 Hello ! Yes the humidity has to be controlled for better results. But here the medium is liquid and in a jar so I did not think it was relevant to mention it. May I ask where you are doing your PhD? I am looking for a PhD myself in this field and am looking for universities and labs working on it. Is it a design PhD or a science PhD?
@@aos_studio Thanks for your reply! Makes totally sense. I am doing my PhD at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and it's a science PhD. It's incredibly fast growing field I would say! But my position is a little special. There is nobody else working on mycelium in my institute. That's why I watching youtube videos to learn how to do stuff. :)
@@zophie5554 Hey, same with me.. pretty new on this mycelium technology. I just completed my PhD under this topics. very interesting and it is new product invention technology.
Very cool, have you tried kombucha leather? I wonder how they compare, because kombucha seems infinitely easier.
Yes, kombucha is indeed way easier to work with but takes a lot more time to grow and is not as resistant, is transparent and is not waterproof.
great video, which strain of mycelium did you use?
she labled it Reishi at the beginning
@@octoplasma2 Thanks, I missed that.
