Mylea™ is a leather-like material made out of mushroom mycelium and a cellulose backing.
1 - 1.9mm thick
10.24x18.11 inches (26x49 cm)
3oz per sheet
Please note, each leather strip is unique. When choosing between the two options, keep in the mind the amount of mottling for each:
- Natural Oyster has less than ~25% mottling on strip.
- Golden Morel has more than ~25% mottling on strip.
You can use mushroom leather for anything for which you would use traditional leather of a similar thickness. Some of our favorite uses are in clothing, purses shoes, and other accessories. Extended exposure to rain or wetness, or extreme impact as in the case of a drum would be experimental uses at this point.
Caring for your mushroom leather is a breeze. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry completely before use. Avoid ironing, bleaching, machine washing, or tumble drying to preserve its natural beauty and integrity.
Made with less time, water, resources, and carbon footprint than conventional leather. Mylea™ actually sequesters carbon, since it is grown on agricultural waste that is otherwise typically burned in Indonesia. Mylea™ is the eco-friendly material you've been searching for.
