It's more like a giant fungus. It's the design of a biotech company that uses mushrooms to make eco-friendly packing materials, leather, and even bacon. Mycelium, as it's called, is basically the ...

A team from the Hub for Biotechnology and the Built Environment has created a mycelium material prototype to question common consumption processes. The project highlights the current environmental ...

Only 30% of a coffee bean is soluble in water, and many brewing methods aim to extract significantly less than that. So of ...

Americans drink around 1.6 billion pounds of coffee, but most of the used coffee grounds—over 1.1 billion pounds—end up in ...

However, for researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam, mycelium represents a pioneering raw material with the potential to replace petroleum-based ...

A group of creative engineers from the University of Washington recently introduced a plastic alternative that utilizes a mix of used coffee grounds and 3D-printed mycelium biocomposites to create ...

Monc has developed its own sustainable mycelium packaging made from 'magical' mushrooms. Monc's new packaging harnesses the potential of agricultural waste and fungi, one of the world's oldest ...

UW researchers developed a new system for turning used coffee grounds into a paste, which they use to 3D print objects, such ...

They are currently working on a leather alternative made of mycelium, which is the network of fungal filament material that produces mushrooms, toadstools, truffles, and more. Hopefully they’re ...

Dr Globa claims that mycelium-based materials can be used to turn organic waste into household objects and potentially construction materials. Credit: Anastasia Globa 'Living materials' is a ...

Researchers develop a method to 3D print with coffee grounds and mycelium, resulting in resilient, compostable materials for ...
