I'll also take advantage of this post to announce you that The Purhyphae Project (the little name I gave to the research I conducted about mycelium biodegradation of textile waste) is going to be exhibited A LOT during the next months! It will be presented during the Dornbirn Global Fibers Congress in Austria from the 13th to the 16th of September, exhibited at the ArcInTex Symposium Living Textile Architectures in Newcaste from the 12th to the 14th of october in Newcastle and showcased at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, from the 22nd to the 30th of october. So if you are anywhere near, feel free to show up !

Very excited to continue this research and I hope I reach my goal to be able to present my project to more peole, stay tuned !

About This Project

Can textile waste be repurposed and recycled as a raw material for the growth of mycelium leathers? Textile waste is accumulating in landfills due to overcunsumption of garments and poor recycling opportunities. Textile biodegradation by various fungal strains (Pleurotus ostreatus, Schyzophyllium comune and Omphalatus nidiformis) will be assessed to find the most efficient strain to biodegrade denim and synthetic textile waste, and which is best for myco-leather production.
