Ecovative's mushroom-made materials run the gamut from furniture to an entire house, thanks
to the power of mycelium -- essentially fungus, the unseen underground part of
a mushroom, which looks like a network of thin white strands. The company’s
homegrown housewares are water- and fire-resistant, and unlike plastic and
Styrofoam, they are entirely biodegradable, explained co-founder Gavin
McIntyre.
“We grew chairs,” McIntyre told FoxNews.com. “We grew a house.” Ecovative built the
sample structure from pine wood and poured the fungal mix inside the wall
cavity, where it grew as a natural insulation.
Ecovative is also experimenting with a variety of other ideas as well, from marine buoy
to shoe soles.
