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

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 ...

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

The mycelium, which extends more than 300 miles down into the earth, is excellent at taking in and breaking down hydrocarbons. That ability gives it several crucial roles in the forest ecosystem.

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 ...
