Our Products

Our grown product challenges the material used in manufacturing, the process of doing so and how the material is final disposed.

MycoTile production ensure no synthetic or fossil fuel-based material are used in production with only natural fibres and organic bonding agents.

A significant part of the captured CO2 in agriculture waste can still be considered in the mycelium product when it leaves our factory.

Wall and Roof Insulation

Our pilot wall and roof insulation is a substitute to the traditional insulation material utilizing approximately 80% less water and 50% less energy than the market leading materials.

Furniture and Accessories

Our custom-made, unique collection of lampshades and home decor items features sustainable alternatives to traditional steel and plastic materials.

Packaging Materials

Our innovative mycelium-based packaging materials are affordable, high-performing, and fully customizable. With their exceptional insulation properties, they are completely compostable, providing a superior alternative to traditional non-biodegradable packaging.

Serving Trust

MycoTile products are affordable, safe, and completely circular.

Affordability

0%

Due to the readily available substrate MycoTile insulation is affordable at 2/3 of the market prices of the competitors. Cost is a critical factor is determining sales in the MycoTile market even if the product is still backed with superior performances.

Circular

0%

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is usually considered a waste product. SMS can be used as compost, as a substrate for other mushroom-forming fungi, as animal feed, to promote health of animals, and to produce packaging and other construction materials (a research MycoTile is undertaking), biofuels, and enzymes.

Safe

0%

Chitin, present in the mycelium, has remarkable mechanical properties as a biopolymer demonstrating significant structural strength and flexibility for many different species optimized for specific functionalities. Many of the toughest structures that we see in nature, use chitin as an armor for protection and defense, e.g. insect cuticles, crustacean shells and mollusc nacre. This property makes mycelium-based products naturally fire retardant making them safer than alternatives in the market.
