With a growing demand for vegan leather, the fashion industry has struggled to find sustainable options that meet commercial needs. Mycelium-based vegan leather, derived from fungi, has emerged as a promising solution. Initially dismissed due to production challenges, recent research suggests new methods for growing mycelium "leather mats" that are fast and scalable.
Traditional leather's environmental impact and petrochemical-based vegan alternatives' issues highlight the need for better solutions. Mycelium leather offers a low-cost, eco-friendly option, addressing both ethical and environmental concerns in fashion. | BGNES
