Mushroom leather: Fungi saves fashion Leather is tough to greenify—vegan leather is largely made of petroleum-based plastic that doesn’t biodegrade. Plus, it doesn’t hold a candle to the look, feel, and smell of the real thing. But one day soon, you could be sporting shoes made of fungi, and you may even prefer it to the animal-skin variety.

[xxxairheadedangelxxx]

me when i stupidly thought id hyave the energy to start doing research work for Anthy and then mycoworker has like gone out of her way to be the most fucking obnoxious individual she possibly can so now my brain feels like total soup

[ladymariayuri]

mycoworker was sent home early today because she tested positive for covid. literally just did a cheap test in the back during her break. i have had a nasty cough and fever since yesterday which she also worked. guys its so joever for me

[slowdiived]

oddly specific kurt kunkle request? reader works in retail and one day they complain to their boyfriend kurt about a regular customer (a creepy old man who keeps hitting on reader and making them super uncomfortable), so kurt kills the creepy dude?

i have a guy at my job that is literally a fucking perv so i had some ideas LMFAO

“it’s just really pissing me off,” you ranted as you paced around the living room. “this dude has to be like 60 years old, i’m telling you… and he wouldn’t stop putting his hand on my back every time he made me bend down to show him the stupid iphone chargers.”

kurt watched you, his head turning every direction you went in. he was sitting on the couch furious, his arms crossed against his chest. he was sick with the thoughts of some creepy old man taking advantage of your store’s customer service policy just to get close to you.

“that’s so messed up,” he sighed, laying his back against the leather cushion. “did you tell anybody?”

“yes!” you threw your arms up in anger. “i told like two of mycoworkers on the registers and they just tried to tell me he was ‘being nice.’ it’s a load of bullshit.”

you hated your retail job. you hated it so much. you worked at a failing business that tended to only attract older people with no clue of social norms. mostly it was just having to deal with out of touch people, mean and grumpy at your explanations, and help. you learned to deal with it, your benefits were nice and you got a decent paycheck, but some days you wanted to just chop your head off in front of the whole store to scar everyone in sight. maybe that would make people start to change.

you just learned to cope the best you could, but today was different.

“maybe bring it up with your general manager?” he tried to propose a solution. “i don’t know, i-i’ve never really worked retail before.”

“i wish it was that simple,” you sat down next to him. “he comes in every week and is normal to everyone else, except me. i just feel gross, like i want to cut off the chunk of skin he kept touching.”

“i’m sorry,” he put an arm around your shoulders, bringing you closer and touching his head to yours. “it will get better, maybe just bring his name up to one of your managers and maybe he will get banned.”

“i guess you are right,” you turned to face him. “thank you for letting me rant to you, i know that was probably annoying and all.”

“no,” he kissed your cheek. “it wasn’t at all, im glad you told me.”

he had so many thoughts racing through his head, he could see this man touching you, your face of pure disgust and worry. it made him so enraged, his fingernails digging into his palm as he tried his best to contain himself. he got pretty good at masking his anger, especially in front of you. he never wanted to scare you off with the dark thoughts and actions that ran through him.

he had a plan though. he knew this guy’s routine from all your stories you had told him the last few weeks. he thought about stalking the store, seeking out the guy, following him home, and then beating the ever living shit out of him. watching the older man’s frail bones break as kurt just broke him into a million pieces.

-

“hey uh, it’s (y/n), was just calling to see if you are okay, it’s been like three hours since you got done driving and you said you were bringing dinner. just call me back when you get the chance, just a little worried.”

it was already eight pm and you hadn’t heard anything from kurt since he got off of spreeing for the day. you texted him a few times, shocked when he wasn’t quick to answer. that boy practically lives on his phone, he texts you a billion times a day checking in on you, but today was different. you tried to just tell yourself that he got caught up in something, maybe his dad needed a ride somewhere. he usually begged kurt to take him to the most outlandish of places so you tried your best to believe your made up story.

you had taken a shower once you got home around four, made yourself look good for your boyfriend. you were gonna eat dinner with him then hope you guys would get to messing around a bit, maybe show off your new underwear you hadn’t had a proper chance to debut to him yet. it was really bothering you that he hadn’t said a word for hours.

before you could worry anymore, kurt had stumbled through the door, slamming it once he got inside. you ran from your room to the living room to see him, happy that he was alive. you were about to report him as missing due to your dramatics.

“hey is everything okay?” you had thrown yourself around him, his arms tightening around you.

“oh yeah,” he spoke into your ear. “just had to take care of something a-and my phone died.”

you pulled away, hands now holding his. he smiled at you, his eyes bright and happy. all your worries went away, his face being enough o make you feel okay.

“did you get dinner?” you asked, starving from not eating since your lunch.

“i was thinking i could take you out,” his grin made your heart flutter. “anywhere you want to go, it’s on me.”

you nodded.

“honestly can we just sit inside taco bell?” you giggled. “i just really want a beefy burrito right now.”

“yeah of course,” he kissed your forehead. “anything for you.”

you told him you would be right back, going to your room to get a pair of shoes on. he sat on the couch for a moment and let out a huff, his mind fuzzy.

he would do anything to make you happy, he loves making you happy. he wants to be your saving grace, your only hope. he looked down at his jacket, smiling at the tiny bloodstain that was left on him. it was all for you, it’s always going to be for you. he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“okay i’m read-“ you stopped for a moment as you noticed a blood smear from the side of his temple down to his ear. “… hey are you bleeding?”

his hand shot to the side of his face that your eyes were fixated on, his fingers grazing the dried blood. he pulled down his hand to look at it and sure enough, there was dried blood that bunch up on his pointer and middle finger.

“oh uh,” he pretended to look as shocked as he possibly could. “i hit my head on the uh… side of my door today w-when getting gas. i was trying to uh… hurry for my next passenger, i didn’t notice i was bleeding.”

he stood up and went to your bathroom, quickly turning in the sink. he pulled out a washcloth from your drawer, soaking it then scrubbing at his temple.

you followed in shortly after, nervous that he had really hurt himself. you tried to get up close to inspect the suspected wound but he pulled away from you.

“oh i-i’m okay,” he finished cleaning it off. “it’s just a tiny scratch on my scalp, nothing major.”

“are you sure?” you tried to reach for him again. “let me check it for you-“

“no it’s fine i promise,” he put the cloth on the counter. “we should get to t-taco bell before they close.”

you nodded and turned around, heading out the restroom door. kurt looked in the mirror one last time, the events of the day playing through his head.

he punched the guy in the face, as hard as he could. the man stumbled to the ground of his front lawn, groaning at the impact. kurt through another hard hitter, the man passing out.

he had put him in his car and drove him to the junkyard, his usual place for his victims. he layer his body against the gravel in front of his car, waiting for the man to wake up again. he was growing impatient, the pocket knife on his key opened and ready to be used. kurt decided to stab him in the side repeatedly, the old man awakening to the pain. he looked at kurt with eyes of terror, his hand reaching for the bloody wound.

“this is what you get m-mother fucker,” he stuttered, stabbing him again.

the man tried to grab kurt with his bloody hand, the liquid smearing against the side of his head.

“are you coming or what?” you asked, breaking him out of his memory.

“y-yeah,” he turned off the light and head to you. “just wanted to say i love you.”

“i love you.” he gave you a kiss on your cheek.

The Green Hat Progress

Creativity & Surprise- Alternatives, Out of the box Ideas, reframing, what ifs

In the fashion industry, companies such as MycoWorks and Bolt Threads have utilized mycelium to grow lines of all-natural, light, and breathable fabrics. Whether the product in question is food, fabric, or packaging, a variety of companies are discovering ways to create useful products that also serve as eco-friendly substitutes, all using a fungus species called mycelium.

Mycelium has even been used to help clean up oil spills due to its decomposing properties.

Using this concept I have managed to come up with an idea of making a cup out of clay, but I failed to make one. Afterwards, It was 2d animation done in real life.

Idea behind it: Since there are companies that are trying to use mushroom organisms to create useful products, I wanted to show that it can be used like a cup also since people have issues with using plastic cups and paper cups.

Mycelium Leather Market Trends and Opportunities: Global Outlook (2023-2032)

The Mycelium Leather market is projected to grow from USD 43.26 million in 2024 to USD 221.53 million by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.65%.

Mycelium leather, an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional animal leather, is derived from the root structure of mushrooms known as mycelium. This material has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its eco-friendly production process, which uses significantly less water, land, and energy compared to conventional leather. Mycelium can be grown in a matter of weeks, making it a highly renewable resource. The process involves feeding agricultural waste, such as sawdust or straw, to the mycelium, which then grows into a dense, fibrous network. This network is harvested and processed to create a material that mimics the look and feel of leather, while being entirely biodegradable. Unlike animal leather, mycelium leather can be customized in terms of thickness, texture, and color during the cultivation process, offering a high degree of versatility. Its production also eliminates the need for toxic chemicals like chromium, which are commonly used in tanning animal hides.

The result is a material that is not only sustainable but also cruelty-free, aligning with the growing consumer demand for ethical and environmentally conscious products. Additionally, mycelium leather is lightweight, durable, and has a low carbon footprint, making it an attractive option for use in fashion, accessories, and even automotive interiors. Companies like MycoWorks and Bolt Threads are at the forefront of this innovation, partnering with major brands to integrate mycelium leather into mainstream products. As the fashion industry continues to seek out sustainable alternatives to animal-derived materials, mycelium leather stands out as a promising solution that could redefine the future of leather goods.

Here are some innovative trends in the Mycelium Leather Market:

Adoption by Luxury Brands: High-end fashion brands like Stella McCartney, Hermès, and Adidas are integrating mycelium leather into their product lines, highlighting its potential as a sustainable and premium alternative to animal leather.

Customization and Versatility: Mycelium leather offers extensive customization options, allowing manufacturers to tailor the material's thickness, texture, and color during the growth process, meeting specific design and performance needs.

Advancements in Production Techniques: Ongoing innovations in the cultivation and processing of mycelium leather are improving its durability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, making it more accessible for a broader range of applications.

Sustainability and Circular Economy: As a biodegradable and renewable material, mycelium leather is gaining traction among environmentally conscious consumers and businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint and embrace circular economy principles.

Collaborations with Biotechnology Firms: Companies like MycoWorks and Bolt Threads are pioneering new methods to enhance the properties of mycelium leather, including its strength, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal, through advanced biotechnology.

Expanding Applications Beyond Fashion: The use of mycelium leather is expanding beyond fashion into sectors like automotive interiors, furniture, and accessories, driven by its lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly characteristics.
