With its oddly rustic design aesthetic, Sebastian Cox's Mycelium pendant lamps aren't made... they're grown.Mycelium, or the vegetative part of a mushroom, has

In the “Building On Mycelium” project, Avans University of Applied Sciences, HZ University of Applied Science and partners are investigating how locally available organic waste streams can be used to produce mycelium biocomposites, with properties that make them suitable for the construction sector. In this project the emphasis will be on (studying) the manufacture of furniture or interior panels.

A sustainable building material made from agricultural byproducts and mushroom mycelium has been nominated for the Design Museum's Design of the Year 2015.

bioMATTERS' MYCO-ALGA is a sustainable interior tiling system crafted from 3D-printed mycelium, algae, and upcycled natural and organic waste.
