Abstract

When we talk about mushroom fashion, we are mainly talking about mushroom leather, which is plant-based, sustainable, biodegradable, and resource-efficient. Here, the innovative, environmentally- and animal- friendly "leather" is pressed and then tanned like real leather (without the use of chemicals at all). The dense root fibers of the mycelium are first mixed with various waste products such as corn husks, causing the mycelia to multiply and form mold after a few days. The mass is then mashed, pressed, dried, and tanned. I am passionate about making fashion more sustainable, it is needless to say that we’re in awe of mushrooms. This clearly makes mushroom fashion our new obsession!
