Mogu cutting-edge technology is based on mycelium, the vegetative stage of mushrooms. Over the years, we have identified effective protocols to monitor the growth of these amazing organisms – and in line with that, we have learned to engineer the properties of the resulting materials.

Mogu produce materials by growing selected strains of mycelium on pre-engineered substrates made of agro-industrial residues.By tuning the matrix configuration, we harvest different materials within short timeframes and with limited use of resources.

Fungal mycelium acts as a reinforcement to the matrix structure, creating a 100% plastic-free and coherent material composite. At the end of the production process, mycelium materials are inertized by slow drying, for reduced energy consumption. The resulting products are completely stable, safe and durable – and biodegradable too!
