MyBacon is now sizzling in 1,200 stores—with thousands more coming soon, maybe even your favorite fast-food spot. Fresh funding just landed @ecovative to boost production, distribution, and innovation. It’s a tough market, but superior taste and quality always win.

@mkoeris @DARPA NOTED.

we are hard at work!

We've already shown mycelium can grow food and materials at scale. Now we're exploring how these fungal networks process information. Nature's technology - creating abundance in food, materials, and potentially, computation itself.

[Ecovative @ecovative]

In Dec @DARPA awarded us a grant to explore bioelectronic computing using mycelial networks. We're combining conductive polymers with living fungal tissue to create what could become biological electronics - a literal living circuit.

[Ecovative @ecovative]

With @DARPA's support, we're investigating how to harness mycelial networks for computation. Early results suggest these living systems could process information in ways silicon never could - using nature's own information processing architecture.

MyBacon is now availible nation wide. Grown with Organic Mycelium in the Hudson valley and just 4 simple ingredients. Its yum! Check out @myforestfoods for a store finder.

[Eben Bayer @ebenbayer]

15 years ago we started growing packaging with mycelium @ecovative and 4 years ago we launched a new platform- AirMycelium.

Today our farms produce 15,000 lbs/week of food and fashion materials.

Here's a few things I've learned about scaling biology:

It's Monday. Time to put the FUN in fungi🍄

@thisischristina speaks with @ebenbayer about scaling his mycelium company.

How does he, after over a decade of running @ecovative, think about the tension between scale & growth, capitalism & sustainability?

😍 love an early morning AirMycelium harvest

This crop was grown at Swersey Silo's and will get sliced, flavored, and packed, right down the street by our friends @myforestfoods in the Hudson Valley.

We are planting crops in 3 farms in 2 countries now!

[Eben Bayer @ebenbayer]

3,2,1 -- Lift off!

10 shelves of a fresh MyBacon crop ready for harvest.

Big congrats to the @ecovative team for bringing this dream to life. The first new global crop in thousands of years! Now being farmed in 3 countries.

Working on Earth, so we can go to the stars.

[Ecovative @ecovative]

Accelerating, with mycelium.

Last year we released 2 new AirMycelium crops to farmers

First new global crops in thousands of years!

Upgrading mushroom farms with biology to get: clean air, water, soil + delicious bacon + supple leather.

Exciting News! Join me on the SynBioBeta podcast where I chat with my friend @ebenbayer, CEO of @ecovative, a leading #company in #sustainable mycelium-based #materials. We'll explore their journey to create a billion pounds of mycelium, innovative agricultural tech, and the transformative impact on #consumergoods. Plus, delve into Ecovative's #AI and digital twins. Eben, a visionary entrepreneur and inventor, is revolutionizing #sustainability worldwide. Don't miss this enlightening conversation: https://t.co/u00JTip1UI

[Ecovative @ecovative]

Our AirMycelium crop signifies a turning point—a delicious, whole-cut, farm-to-table experience that redefines possibilities. This marks a significant opportunity for growers worldwide, shaping the future of farm-to-table.

[Ecovative @ecovative]

Exciting News! #MyBacon is now available at @WholeFoods 🍄🥓 This regional expansion spans 57 locations across NY, NJ, and CT, adding to @myforestfoods growing presence, reaching 350+ locations in the Northeast.

[Ecovative @ecovative]

As our farm reaches capacity, the imminent doubling of production in 2024 by our partner mushroom farm, Whitecrest Innovations Inc. (Canada), underscores the adaptability of existing mushroom farms to seamlessly integrate AirMycelium into their crop offerings.
