For my final project at Fabricademy barcelona, FabLab BCN, I explored ways of upcycling textile waste using fungi and more especially their mycelium. This video is a tutorial on how to make a composite mycelium-textile, using textile waste as a substrate for the mycelium growth.

This tutorial explains how to make the composite leather step by step in a DIY way, accessible to all, hoping people can make their own materials at home and explore new ways to upcycle textile.

For more informations on growth conditions and mycelium culture, you can:
