In 2013, co-founders Philip Ross and Sophia Wang founded MycoWorks, a San Francisco-based biomaterials company dedicated to bringing new mycelium materials to the world. MycoWorks’ patented Fine MyceliumTM technology, an advanced manufacturing platform and breakthrough in materials science, engineers mycelium during growth to form proprietary, interlocking cellular structures for unparalleled strength and durability.
Fine MyceliumTM refers both to MycoWorks’ proprietary process and to a new category of fully customizable materials used in the fashion, footwear, automotive, and decor industry that are exclusive to MycoWorks.
MycoWorks’ flagship Fine MyceliumTM product, ReishiTM, is a new class of premium, natural material that offers the quality, hand feel, and performance of the finest animal leathers with lower environmental impact.
MycoWorks’ current brand partners are Hermès, Nick Fouquet, Ligne Roset and General Motors, in addition to a range of leading fashion houses, which are confidential partnerships.
