Our company

Mycela is a mycelium material lab, combining design with mycelium technology. We design, grow and produce materials meeting the needs of architects, engineers and builders, without compromising on environmental standards.

Based on a combination of mycelium (the root structure of fungi) and agro-industrial residues, we grow quality materials. Our materials are entirely natural and biodegradable.
Mycela is founded on the belief that by uniting nature with science and design, we can radically change the future of materials at scale.

Our mission

Accelerating the transition to a circular, sustainable built environment, by transforming waste and byproducts into valuable materials and products made by fungi.
