BUSINESS 01 · MYCELIUM MAT
We grow the mat
where textiles begin
We focus on cultivation: uniform greige mycelium mats, supplied to partners who handle plasticizing, dyeing and coating.
WHAT WE SUPPLY
Well-grown mats,
ready for finishing
A mycelium mat is a soft sheet formed as hyphae grow densely at the surface. The quality of the final textile depends on how uniform this greige mat is.
Mycogen handles everything up to finishing: substrate prep, inoculation, mat growth, harvest and inactivation, drying and inspection.
- Cultivation only — finishing is done by partners
- Thickness, density and size agreed per order
- Batch cultivation records provided
FINISHED MATERIAL
Processed with MycoGen mycelium mat
Mycelium fabric
Add finishing such as embossing and dyeing to a mycelium mat and it becomes a leather-like mycelium textile. Mycogen grows the greige mat that this starts from and supplies it to finishing partners.
- Crocodile embossing
- Patina dyeing
