Reishi, a material made from mushroom roots, might replace the animal leather in your closet.

MycoWorks, a San Francisco based biotechnology company, has been working on a mushroom leather alternative and is now ready to scale it up. The company that has been backed by the French luxury design house, Hermès, proved that they can maintain the desired product level while doing production runs for the brand.

Not just that, the company has also received new funding worth US$125 million which will be used to build a new production plant in South Carolina.
