Reishi by MycoWorks Brings Fungi to Fashion

At the core of this innovation is Fine Mycelium™, MycoWorks’ proprietary technology that transforms mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, into a natural textile with remarkable strength and refinement. Unlike plastic-based alternatives, Reishi™ is cultivated in a controlled environment where its structure can be tailored for durability, softness, and appearance.

Designed for high-end applications, Reishi™ offers a level of customization in texture, hand feel, and finish that meets the exacting needs of luxury designers. It is processed by expert partners using time-tested techniques that ensure a refined final product with lasting quality.

What sets Reishi™ apart is the control MycoWorks maintains throughout the growth process. This enables consistent results across batches while also giving designers new creative possibilities. The result is a premium natural material with a reduced environmental footprint and no reliance on animal sources.

From Lab to Scale: Reishi™ at Commercial Manufacturing Levels

MycoWorks isn’t just developing materials. It’s building the future of material production. The company has launched the world’s first commercial-scale Fine Mycelium™ facility in South Carolina, built to deliver high-quality output at scale. This move supports luxury brands looking for traceable, reliable, and scalable alternatives in their supply chains.
