This material is designed to be sustainable and is appealing to fashion brands and designers seeking eco-friendly options. Reishi™ has already been used in luxury items, showcasing its performance and aesthetic qualities. MycoWorks has established the world's first commercial-scale Fine Mycelium™ plant in South Carolina to increase production capacity, reflecting its commitment to sustainability in the fashion industry. Unlike traditional leather, Reishi™ offers a more environmentally friendly choice, positioning MycoWorks to capture a significant share of the growing leather goods market, which is projected to exceed $720 billion by 2030.
