Market Insights
Mycelia exhibit finger-like structures that extend outward, akin to roots, in their quest for water and nutrients essential for sustaining the fungal body. These mycelia form aggregations known as Shiro, and these fungal communities are typically located either beneath the soil’s surface or on it. Mycelia can effortlessly traverse through soil or other surfaces thanks to their robust wall structure. Mycelium boasts a sturdy, fibrous composition that can be harnessed for the production of various materials, including clothing, food, construction materials, and packaging.
During the last seven years, there has been a growing focus on advancing mycelium research. The unique qualities of mycelium, such as its soft and foamy texture, strong binding capabilities, renewability, and biodegradability, have raised awareness regarding its potential to replace harmful materials like plastics, leather, and animal products. Companies like Mycelia, for example, are actively engaged in research and development aimed at enhancing the creation of new products derived from mushrooms and mycelium. This company manufactures and markets mycelium and its spores, distributing them globally.
