Mycelium is the root structure of mushrooms and can be considered as an ecological alternative to fossil-fuel based plastics such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropene (EPP).

The outcome material is biodegradable, produced CO2 negative and results in a light and elegant composite that is suitable for packaging, insulation or interior design.
