Growing Leather from Mushrooms? How MycoWorks is Revolutionizing Design | In This Corner Podcast

MycoWorks is not your average mushroom. In this Corner podcast Sarina sits down with Xevi Gallego, creative director, about this trailblazing company and how they are redefining the design industry by growing leather. MycoWorks specializes in creating sustainable leather using mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. They share insights on how their proprietary technology, Fine Mycelium™, produces materials that are not only environmentally friendly but also meet the high-performance standards of traditional leather—and perhaps even surpasses them. We also discuss the potential applications of these materials in fashion, automotive, and other industries. It’s an inspiring conversation on the future of sustainable art, design, and material innovation.
