Mushroom Material an Auckland based startup has garnered $8.5 m in seed funding.

“Transforming agricultural waste into eco-friendly packaging, we’ve harnessed the power of mycelium—the root structure of mushrooms—to create a sustainable alternative to polystyrene (Styrofoam)”.

“Made from mycelium and agricultural waste, our product reduces landfill waste and pollution, is fully biodegradable, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint, and provides the same durability as polystyrene without the harmful effects.

100% biodegradable

Our mushroom-based material offers the same protective properties as traditional polystyrene, ensuring your items remain safe and secure during transit. With excellent shock absorption and durability, you can trust our eco-friendly alternative to deliver top-notch performance while reducing environmental impact.
