Channel: Ecovative Design
Date: 2019-08-06

Ecovative's Industrial Designer Grace Knight gives a quick overview of BioDesign, Mushrooms, and how Ecovative utilizes mycelium in their MycoComposite™, AirMycelium™ Technology, and MyForest Foods platforms, followed by a Q&A.

Ecovative is the mycelium technology company that designs and grows sustainable materials that come straight from nature. Our Mycelium Foundry designs fully formed structures that perform just like or better than plastic, leather, meat, and more turning to compost at the end of their life to meet demand without the environmental costs. 

Established in 2007, Ecovative provides leading research and development of mycological technologies to grow sustainable, fully biodegradable materials and products. Our Mycelium Foundry uses the most comprehensive fungal strain library for mycological material technology in the world. Drawing from this library for our proprietary AirMycelium™ process, we amplify and leverage the natural properties of specific strains to grow unique bio-materials that meet our clients' needs.
