    isnt there this mushroom based fakeleather stuffthingie?

    this for example:

    ok the animation is kinda gross… if you find fungi gross, but i think these are just fun little guys also, i guess its more of a thing in the future when there is more competition in the market of mycelium based textiles or whatever and prices arent that crazy…

      I’ve looked at some plant based leather alternatives, and most of them mostly contain polyurethane or a similar plastic. Additionally, they tend to be not very durable.

            i havent seen either type myself, just heard of mycelium based leathers existence and thought to share.

            and check my other comment too, mylo looks more decorative than anything on their website, with patches glued on a pair of pants… idk what that is supposed to be telling the viewer, but surely it isnt “leather pants”
