The materials industry was already changing rapidly prior to the current global events. In particular, the giant fashion and luxury supply chain has been in a search for both resiliency and expansion; for the materials that will fuel the next decades, not quarters, of growth.
@MycoWorksInc@BoF The volume of data we are now generating, combined with AI tools and the genetic work we're doing at our Innovation Center, means we're only getting better at it.
We are delivering the first new biomaterial on the market at scale. There are more from @MycoWorksInc to come.
Several years ago at @MycoWorksInc we decided to build a core competency in manufacturing, bucking the "CMO" approach in biotech. It was expensive and hard. But now, it is our strength-- and a massive moat.

@PalmerLuckey Hi Palmer-- @robleclerc is right! @MycoWorksInc has the only full-scale dedicated "leather" production plant in the world, in South Carolina. We make a new type of natural material, Reishi™, with high tensile strength and without plastic. Amazing stuff being made from it.

Excellent telling of the @DCVCBio-backed @MycoWorksInc origin story from @Forbes contributor Benjamin Wolff. MycoWorks makes beautiful non-animal materials from its proprietary Fine Mycelium. Turning heads across industries! 🍄 👉👛📸🚗

“Leather is a product that has been perfected over the course of 10,000 years. Fine Mycelium™ is in its first decade, and our patient approach to creating magic is just beginning,” writes CEO Matt Scullin: https://t.co/awe02DX0L6
It is, in many ways, something out of the blue that everyone could see coming: an all-out battle against plastics, or at least plastic waste. It’s a fight that’s been brewing for years — decades, even.
Take a look at part 1 of @makower's plastics exposé:
