Our move to a new location is more than a change of address; this 10,000m² space provides the operational capacity required to scale our production and enter our next phase of growth. Moving our operations into a greenhouse provides inspiration for bio-fabrication that a standard industrial unit cannot match. By placing our operations in an environment filled with plants and natural light, we align our workspace with the biological systems we develop. It is not only about aesthetics, it is about scaling our capacity to move bio-materials from the lab into the real world.

Nature’s problem solvers

Nature rarely produces a one-size-fits-all solution, but fungi come close. While most organisms specialize in a single niche, the functional scope of mushrooms spans almost every major challenge we face today. Their versatility is unmatched: they provide high-protein food sources, purify water, and can even neutralize hazardous waste like asbestos.

Because their core biological function is breaking down organic matter, no other group of organisms is better suited to represent the circular economy. We are entering an era where this incredible range of fungal applications will transition away from experimental phases and directly into the global market.Beyond environmental and structural applications, targeted research is demonstrating the potential of certain fungal species in medical fields, including effective treatments for severe depression and PTSD. 

The ROI of better acoustics

The transition to bio-based materials is often driven by a need for performance with sustainability that traditional manufacturing cannot meet. A primary example is the soundscape of a commercial space. Industry research has shown that high noise levels are consistently the top complaint for restaurant goers, often outranking poor service.

A case study on acoustic refurbishment demonstrated that by improving the acoustic performance, businesses can see significant financial returns:

• Revenue growth: Improving a space’s soundscape led to a 10% to 11% increase in yearly revenue without changing menu prices.                                                                                                                   
• Rapid payback: The investment in acoustic materials achieved a payback period of just 1.5 months.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
• Measurable comfort: Effective sound absorption can reduce average sound pressure levels by 8.1 dB. Since human hearing perceives 10 dB as a doubling of volume, this reduction significantly improves the "dwell time" of customers.

Our mycelium panels leverage the natural porosity of fungal networks to achieve this performance, absorbing approximately 60% to 80% of noise without the inert, sterile look of industrial foam. With the new large panels by Dasha Tsapenko (ADT), you can create biophilic artistic spaces.

Our roadmap 

The new location offers many opportunities. 

1. Upscaling substrate production We provide fully grown substrate for two markets: edible mushrooms like King oysters and mycelium material applications.                                                                                                       
2. Collaboration with mushroom entrepreneurs: We are expanding our capacity to co-create with organizations, providing the facilities to move away from petroleum-based materials. With professionals we can explore the potential of fungi.                                                                            
3. Workshops for the curious: We plan to host hands-on workshops where anyone can learn the art of bio-fabrication by growing their own mycelium vases, plant pots, and organic objects.                                             
   
4. Other organisms are welcome, too: While our roots are in fungi, we remain open to any bio-based solution that prioritizes circularity and performance to solve complex design challenges. We have the space to scale them up.                                                                                                                                                                        
5. Addressing societal problems: We are leveraging the efficiency of biology to tackle pressing issues, from smarter waste management to carbon-neutral materials.                                                                                                                   

The future: a mushroom experience

To visualize our goal, we will develop the mushroom experience. We want to create a physical space where guests can see how fungi solve sustainability problems in real-time. It is about making the bio-based future tangible, moving it from a theoretical concept into a lived experience.

We are looking for partners and entrepreneurs who are ready to integrate these biological solutions into their existing processes and build a more regenerative future.
